Action Plan

I started attending East Coast Christian Center about a month or so ago and attended today for the 3rd time. I have to say, I really enjoy the service and do not find my mind wandering during the preaching, which is awesome! LOL. The pastor is doing a series on Reaching in terms of one's goals for their life for the next year and how to do it from a biblical perspective. Today, the pastor talked about having an action plan in order to achieve your goals. He suggested everyone have five goals they wish to accomplish this year and one of the goals should be one that makes you stretch a bit. He then went on to say that just deciding on a goal is not enough and, often, this is why people fail to reach their goals. They establish them, but then do not make a plan on how they will reach them. So, this week, I am going to figure out five goals for myself and write down an action plan for each. I will post the goals on here once I have it all figured out. It's actually pretty cool that I am hearing this series at this point. I have had this feeling since 2012 began that God has been working on me for some time and is just now waiting on me to work some things out before amazing things start to happen in my life. I have such an optimistic feeling about 2012. I pray God continues to work on my life and mold me into the person He wants me to be. I know I fall so short of the mark most days. Thank goodness God is patient and merciful. He would be so over me and my mistakes by now if He wasnt! But that is the beauty of a perfect relationship, God loves us despite ourselves and will never leave us. He is truly amazing!
