Goal Setting

I read a post from Jeff Leake that was very challenging to me. You can check out his blog here. In the blog he talks about setting goals for yourself for the year but also for your life. He gives you the opportunity to check out Mark Batterson's blog on his top 100 life goals he has set for himself. Reading through the goals he has set for his life hit me like a ton of bricks. As Christians, we are not to just run aimlessly around, like a dog chasing our tails. We can set goals for ourselves to achieve. The only problem is that we can not let accomplishing the goals drive us through our lives. They are just goals that we have set that through Jesus Christ we hope to achieve. Check out Mark Batterson's goals here.

Let us all be challenged to set goals for ourselves as individuals and as a church. It can go along with naming your year. Whatever you named your year, set goals to help you pursue that. I am going to sit down and pray about some goals that I have for myself and the church and I will list them a little later.
