Goals

Just a little post.

This weekend I met with a friend to catch up over Starbucks, not to really go into details and divulge all of our conversation, the topic of what am I going to do once I finish this.. Well , I said, you know I am almost 31 and I still don't completely know what I am called to do in this life and where I see myself in say 5 years. So as we were talking I said sit down and make short term goals, start with a week, a month, 6 months, a year, 5 years. I said you know you can make these goals, but you may not always succeed at keeping them. Although they are goals and we would normally like to keep the goals, you may not always be able to do that, but at least with goals we are not aimlessly going after something random. So where does God fit into all of this, He should be the center of our goals. To be completely honest, my goals this week consist of this... Pray daily, read my Bible daily, and read a book. Not that I need to be reminded to pray daily, but that is my goal to spend some quality time in prayer this week with my Savior, and for those that know me well, know I am not a reader so I am going to try and finish a book I have been reading for awhile and begin a new book this week..

So I ask what are your goals for the week??

Soli Deo Gloria
