I want to make new year's goal...I want to write out what our family stands for this....I want to organize my house and my time so that we do family devotions ever day together...be more active...serve and give more...oohh my mind and heart are swirling (i love that word) with so many ideas...I think part of me might be afraid to write anything down because I do not want to fail...but failing is part of learning...and revising and reworking our goals is okay...
So even thought I know I will spend this week writing some things down and implementing some new ideas and goals with in our household, my heart keeps coming back to one thing. Our goal...our job description...our purpose is to bring glory to God. If we wake up each morning and commit our day, our actions, our language to bring glory to God...to be His mirror...to reflect Him...don't you think our goals and dreams and year will be one that God will use when we focus on bringing Him glory.
I do think goals are good...they keep us focused. I know I will make some. I already know what God wants me to work through and to be stripped of...I have prayed for direction and I know I have heard Him...I just hope and pray that I will allow to be used...I will be open to hear...I will be ready to serve...I will be a God pleaser and not a people pleaser...
Our family motto will be to give and serve and to reflect God in what we do.
My motto will be to bring glory to God as a mother, as a friend, as a sister, as a daughter, as a servant, as a lover of Christ.
The rest...God will fill in the blanks.
I hope that everyone who reads this will have an amazing 2010. I pray that you will allow God to direct you and love you and that you will know how valuable you are to him. (I think I have overused the word 'and' today)...God is so good...sooo sooo good. He loves us so much and wants us to be free so we can live a victorious life.
Love God, Love others...one day when I was wondering what to do with my life...someone wise told me that I just needed to love God and love others...so that is what I will do tonight...and tomorrow and the rest of my days....Love God and Love Others.
2010...will be my first year I am going to be able to say...I HAD an eating disorder instead of I have an eating disorder. amazing. :)
2010...Let God Use You...Let God Love You...Let God Direct You....
Love, Teresa
Sometimes just writing down the goal is the start. I love the idea of the family goal, keeps us all together and on the same page.
