My goal(s) for this year: Perseverance/Discipline.
We had orientation yesterday and we were instructed to ask the Lord for vision for this next year and come up with a few goals. Perseverance and discipline seem to be a theme in my life right now in so many areas: in learning to love others, in being careful with my words (thats a big one), in my dancing (haha.....yeah...), in my seeking out the Lord. Don't get me wrong, I am all about grace (really!), but at this point in my life, I have seen that these are definitely a
reas that need growth. Desperately.
Here's my inspiration:
"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." Gal. 6:9-10
I grow weary so quickly, and lose joy for something even more quickly it seems, but I trust the LORD and His promises - and HE is faithful. I am so thankful that He is here with me in this journey to gain more discpline and perseverance on this road called life. And it is a JOYFUL journey, if I choose it to be (and I DO choose it Lord!)....
So thats my vision for this year. I really am praying that this is a season of much growth, and much fruit, and Gwen having a good attitude in all things :)
O my goodness!! I have had to face that recently and it will be an awesome journey :) It's so hard for me not to be upset about so many things, but choosing to be joyful will minimize everything I could have freaked over. The Lord is truly amazing! My goal is : How To Pray. You get to hear about it tomorrow :)
