Goals for 2009

1. Walk close to God:

• Daily practice of spiritual disciplines
• Engaging God becomes more than just devotional time, and becomes a practice of talking to Him all the time
• Hearing Him becomes more clear
• I will listen to promptings and checks, be patient, and wait for answers.

2. Passion for life

• A passion for God will overflow into my everyday life and will prioritize my life
• I will live from vision, priorities, and choice, not emotion and past patterns.
• I will not make excuses, but learn from choices and grow

3. Life will not control me.

• i will continue to create organizational systems in my life and home
• I will become physically fit

• I just finished a Speed Reading Book by Robert Zorn  which gives an excellent overview of speed reading (I’ve gone from 472WPM to ~600WPM so far).
• I just started a more in-depth Speed Reading Book by Peter Kump which I will be reading in Tandem with the oh so popular Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
• Also on order after a recommendation by Dan Mastrapa at our Orlando church will be:
  • The Shaping of Things to Come: Innovation and Mission for the 21 Century Church
  • Breaking the Missional Code: Your Church Can Become a Missionary in Your Community (Hardcover)
  • Planting Missional Churches (Hardcover)
  • Soul Cravings

The cool thing is…I’m an Amazon Associate…so these are ads as well.  I’m going to buy my books through my ads :).  (Also, if you buy one through the advertisement it will help cover the cost of my web site ;)
