Making Plans...

I’m back, everyone! I took a couple of days off for the holidays. I hope you all enjoyed your festivities as well. We’ve got one more celebration to go! I’m so glad I get another extended weekend. I truly appreciate having some time off.

As 2010 is winding down, I am honing the milestones I’m setting for the coming year. In November, I wrote about how I was planning for my church’s youth group. Now I’m looking at my personal goals.

These plans are a bit harder to pin down. I have so many things I want to do! I have lists of items that I want to experience, implement, and develop. And I think they’re all perfect for where I am right now. The possibilities are so exciting, and I can see myself enjoying every one of them!

Then I think about getting started.

It’s overwhelming in some areas and confusing in others. Where do I begin? Which one should come first? Who should I partner with? Which path should I take?

In the past, these questions have stopped me in my tracks to the point where nothing I wanted to do got done. The indecision and fear caused me to miss out on the completion of my goals.

That will not be the story this year! This year everything on my list is getting a thorough editing by my Heavenly Father! Every project, every dream, every step will be scrutinized by the Leader of this mission.

No matter how excited I am, I will submit my will to the will of the Lord. He has the right to make additions and deletions that I may not have considered.

I will follow God’s direction on how to get started, keep motivated, and complete every item on His agenda. With this game plan, I know that I will accomplish every single one of my 2011 goals!
