2008
I am not a New Year Resolution guy, but I do think the start of the year is a GREAT time to set some goals and evaluate what is working and what is not working in your life. I’ve been thinking a lot about my life lately and realize I let some things get me off course in 2007. I’ve been thinking of the areas of my life that I am going to focus on in 2008 and to keep me accountable, I am going to post them for all of you to see.
Spiritual:
- Start EVERY day in the Bible and prayer
- Consistent Family Devotions
- Listen to at least 2 sermons from someone else a week
- Spend more time with my mentors - I did a BAD job of this towards the end of the year
- Lead our staff by example in spiritual matters
- Learn from others more
- Read 2 books a month
Personal:
- Lose 30 pounds
- Ride 100 miles a week on my bike
- Take a day off EVERY week
- Enjoy the adventure of life more
- Get away twice a year for a few days by myself to spend time with God
Family:
- Date my wife
- Spend more time with my children
- STAY off the computer when I get home from work
- Turn off my cell phone when I get home
- Become debt free
- Realize my family is my #1 ministry
Church:
- Lead Revolution without apology
- Pour my life into our staff
- Become MORE dogmatic aboout our vision (I feel I let some people and some things sidetrack that just a little)
- Love and appreciate our volunteers more
- Get back to investing in church planters
- Continue Revolutionary Love year around
- Launch a second campus
- Invest in Haiti Cheri with more than just our finances (not sure what that looks like yet)
