I feel a change. Sure, it has only been a week but then again, change doesn't have to be limited by time or circumstance. One of my (and God's) goals for this year is that I will be VISIBLY different. I want to feel differently, I want to be looked at differently and most of all, I want to act differently. Like I have said before, I believe accountability is SO IMPORTANT. I believed that before and I believe it 1,000x more after seeing it in practice. The body of Christ is about pushing each other to be better. Iron sharpening iron (Proverbs 27). The body of Christ BELONGING to each other (Romans 12:5). So on that note, I'd like to reveal the rest of my goals for this year in hopes that I can count on you all to hold me to them.
CONSISTENCY: This word haunts me because I cannot count the number of times I have claimed to want it but only pursued it halfheartedly. I want to be consistent. Consistent in making God my first priority, consistent in having a positive attitude, and consistent in making upright decisions.
VISIBLY DIFFERENT: I want my friends, family, supporters, and most importantly, God to see a visible change in me.
GOD PRESSURED: I want to be God pressured rather than peer pressured. I've never considered myself to be easily swayed or convinced by others but I have definitely noticed a tendency in me to compare myself to others. I base my standards off of the world's standards but being better than the world is still shooting pretty low.
CONTENT: I want to be content with the Lord being my “significant other”. I truly believe that the Lord has the perfect person out there for me but along with typhoid and malaria, the Lord is working on vaccinating me for “wedding fever” this year.
BOLDNESS: I want to be confidant and BOLD with my faith. I can already see this one in it's beginning stages and I am ready for it to explode with full force.
SELFLESSNESS: I want to be a selfless giver. Sometimes I am a giver and sometimes my heart is in the right place but the majority of the time the root of my actions is what is in it for me. This is going to be a tough one but I am pretty confidant God can crack it in 11 months.
MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE: After 22 years, you would think I'd have quite a bit of word hidden in my heart. Unfortunately, this is far from being the case. This will be an easy one to keep me accountable for too 🙂
I shared these with my team tonight and I am so excited to grow with the women God has placed in my life. Even more, I would absolutely love to grow with you all at home as well. If anyone would like to share their goals with me then feel free 🙂
