New Year resolutions
I'd rather call my resolutions personal goals for my future.
Here's what I do....I examine four key areas that influence not only my life but the lives of those around me and ultimately the Kingdom of God.
If i want to live out my life to the utmost and fulfill the plans God destined for me, I need to examine and be willing to stretch myself physically, spiritually, relationally and in knowledge.
I want to do my best physically...when I look in the mirror, I need to remind myself I only get one of me, and what I'm looking at is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I ask myself, "what am I doing to get the most mileage out of this body?"
Spiritually...Am I doing the best I can to grow in my walk with the Lord? What is lacking?
Relationally...What can I do to improve my relationships with those around me? Trudy, the kids, the New Life family...
Knowledge...Is the brain getting a decent workout as well. I love to read about so many random topics. When I stop learning, I stop being effective. Leaders continue learning and leaders are readers.
So there you have it; my list for 2010. Actually it's the same list each year, just different focus points under each area.
Can't wait to see what God has in store this year!!!
