THE MONTHLY CHALLENGE.......CHALLENGE

(disclaimer: this would have been much more appropriate if i had posted it in january.) greetings earthlings! happy new month!!
so this year, instead of doing new year's resolutions, i've been inspired by my supertastic friend kara to do (cue the snl voice over guy) *MONTHLY CHALLENGES*.
now you may ask, what is a monthly challenge? it's a challenge that you have to complete every month. obviously.
basically, the game plan is to set a challenge at the beginning of every month, and if you complete the challenge, you give your self a prize. *arrested development quote of the day* "a lovely, lovely prize."
my january challenge was to do yoga every day. i never thought of a reward for myself if i completed that one, so i failed. shame HOWEVER, it was good for me to do, because now i know what realistic monthly goals are. and i know to give myself a prize at the end. it IS the most important part of this exercise.
as today is the first of february (the day when charlie went to the chocolate factory, in case anyone was wondering), i have my monthly challenge; i am going to read THREE spiritual books. a chance to die (a biography of amy carmichael) by elizabeth elliot, a praying life by paul miller, and either just do something by kevin deyoung or worldliness by cj mahaney. my prize will be to go to borders at the end of the month, and buy myself a novel. i'll probably read it too.
the reason i'm blogging this is so i have massive amounts of accountability on the matter. cuz, ya know, accountability is good.
oh yeah, and i'm going to tweet nothing but bible verses. henceforth, february shall be known as "the holy month".
thank you, and good night.

ps february is also wes anderson character profile picture month. please plan accordingly.
