As I look back on 2010, I realize how much I have to be thankful for. I have a terrific family, a job I love, a church family that loves me, and I got to see my grandson Tyler every day for 9 months. I have also grown in my walk with Jesus. In fact, every year I learn more and more about how to stay in step with HIM.
I always loved Calvin and Hobbs and 30+ years ago those could have been my words. I don't need to change, everyone else does. But all that changed starting in 1978. This year will be no exception. And this year I'll have a better plan for growth.
Christ Centered Plan - inspired by todays message
by Rev. T.G. Burgess January 2, 2011
As we start into the new year, we need a plan,
a plan centered in Christ, based on the Bible....
1. What will last - be realistic and make plans you can keep, plans that will last
2. Set goals for each area in your life and write them down.
3. Prioritize your goals - what's important should be first, right.
4. Develop an overcoming mentality - Prov 24:16, How do you view your failures and mistakes? All we need to do is look to such winners as Tom Landry, Bill Walsh or Chuck Noll, Three men who didn't quit because of early failures. Within a 15 year period these three men won a total of 9 super bowls - Landry 2, Walsh 3, Noll 4. I'm not a football fan but those sound like pretty awesome stats to me. If they didn't have an overcoming mentality - they would have given up on their teams after the first year.
5. Depend on the Holy Spirit. Is there any other way. How can we ever hope to change with the Holy Ghost Power.
6. Apply diligence with an attitude to win. What ever it is we can win if we do not give up.
And this picture will make no sense to anyone but me. I love feet, especially newborn feet. It is the image on my doula business card. After of course, a deeper walk with God, my number one priority is to grow my doula business in what ever direction God will take me and the Holy Spirit will lead.
