My theme for 2017 is going to be Regain. To me, this word means to regain control of my life with God as the anchor. He will steer me in the way I'm suppose to go, and in that I hope to regain control of the space around me and my time. I want to regain who I am and was once again, and clear my conscience before God and all people so I can be the real me. Sometimes I feel as if that's lost elsewhere. So by the end of 2017, I would hope to have regained at least some control of where I'm headed.
(Acts 24:16)
Some of my more measurable goals are:
1. Read at least 5 more books in the Bible. In 2016, I really lacked in reading my Bible often and taking quiet times. I plan to be more proactive in studying the words of God.
2. Take on another leadership role at Church in order to grow stronger bonds with others (right now I'm just teaching prek - kindergarteners Sunday school class)
3. Pray without ceasing. I want to pray more. I want to make it a habit to talk to God daily to strengthen our relationship and also pray over others. "What blood is to the body, prayer is to the soul." I feel like this is something I lack in and is maybe the reason to myself feeling weary.
4. Declutter and go over my spiritual journey. I think to regain control of my life this year, I'd have to look at the now but I'd also have to look at what made me who I am now and brought me to where I'm at today. Decluttering and tidying up would help me clear my space and head, and also allow me to thoroughly and gently look over the past and analyze why I am who I am and maybe what God may have planned. < (this is definitely a run-on sentence - but I'm sleepy haha)
5. Memorize at least 5 bible verses. I was looking through my previous blog posts, thinking I knew I had this down somewhere else. I then found that I had made my last Resolutions list in 2015, where I had written memorize at least 10 Bible verses! Unfortunately, I have failed to do so over the past two years. So this year, I'll start smaller at 5 verses. Let's go 2017! We got this 😊
P.S. Cynthia you need to write this down and put it some where you can constantly see. And you need to make a game plan on how you are going to carry out all of your goals! Believe in yourself, and that God will be right along side you.
