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

Sounds good Chris! Something I have been doing over the past five years is at the end of every year, I get together with one of my closest friends, and we write 2 lists out:
1) Accomplishments from the previous year. This has encouraged me a lot in the past, especially those years where it felt like I didn’t achieve much personally or spiritually. Writing the list was always surprising to see how much God actually did accomplish through me.
2) Goals for the Next Year. Writing them down does something more than just thinking about them. They tend to stay in the back of my head, and also allows me to look back on the list every month or so to see how I’m shaping up! If I don’t accomplish something in a given year, I simply reevaluate and then add it to the next year’s list if appropriate.
Happy New Year!
Dude…sorry it took so long to respond. These sound like great ideas! I especially like the things I did good last year.
Happy new year to you! Thanks for commenting!
