Well it is 2009. You have set your resolutions and a lot of us have already broke them. I am trying something a little new this year. Instead of resolutions I am setting personal goals.
This year I want to:
Read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation - It has been a couple of years since I have read the Bible through in a year. I am going to break out my trusty NLT One Year Bible again. So far so good.
Finish my requirements for ordination - Ordination is a big deal for me personally. I have 3 classes left and then the testing and interview process. It is going to be tough and really stressful but if I focus it is attainable this year. Then I can begin working on a degree in 201o.
Loose 50 pounds and keep it off - Weight has been an issue for my most of my life. This year I want to do more than just loose weight, I want to get in shape, not just be a shape. I believe 50 pounds is attainable but will not be easy.
Run a mile - I know that this may sound trivial to some but it would be a milestone to me. It would mean that I have accomplished somewhat of my last goal.
Read at least a book a month - Reading is something that over the last year I have fallen in love with. If you would have asked people 10 years ago if Eric Gordon was a reader, they would have laughed at you. It is now something I not only enjoy but love to do. It is said when you stop reading and learning is when you start dying. I want to be a student the rest of my life.
Expand my circle of influence - I might have some of the most awesome friends in the world. People who not only love me but stick with me through thick and thin. I want to make more friends, find other people to learn from as well. I want to step out from my comfort zone and get to know more people.
These are just personal goals, there are not many and they are attainable. I have set some ministry goals as well that I might share later.
What are your goals or resolutions for 2009?
