Worth The Wait

It is November and Floors: Phase One is just now complete. I purposely limited my major project list this year so that I could spend my time horsing around and writing. That didn't work out as I planned. Today, all I can say is I am so grateful to be back in our family room even if we are five months behind on phase two.
I walk through the house ignoring the other floors; a mix of bare subfloors and half removed tile or ancient linoleum we found when we ripped up the carpet. I make a b-line for the family room, my now favorite room in the house. I have floors! And it was worth the wait.
We started this project at the begining of the summer. What took so long? Ever have a goal and it seems like all you do is hit obstacles?

Tips for Reading "The 30 Day HMN Project" on your e-reader

1. Read One Chapter Day each day, answer the questions, and complete the project goals for that day.
2. Bookmark 'Affirmations' pages as you read each chapter so you can quickly go back to them when you work through the project.
3. Use the Search Term, "Project Schedule," then select the last result you get, and click 'find.' Then click 'next.' This should bring you to "The 30 Day Project Schedule" -- bookmark the schedule.
4. Go to the website and download the forms you would like to use. The password is found in Chapter 25- the 5th and 6th word of the first sentence. Use the search term 'Relationships' then scroll results until you see Chapter Twenty-Five. Highlight that result and click 'find.' You'll find the password phrase at the end of the first sentence.
WEBSITE forms will include the "The 30 Day Project Schedule", "The 2-Week Review," each chapter's Affirmations list, and the other forms mentioned in the text.
5. Use "The 30 Day Home Management Project" as a six week bible study group- meeting weekly to discuss your goals and progress. Plan times to get together and help each other accomplish goals.
