Subscribe to the NetworkIt’s not Mine in 2009 or is it?
It’s 2009 can you believe it! 2008 ended with a lot going on for me. My 19 year old brother was in a major accident. Basically, there was only one door left on the car. God showed himself to be faithful through this travesty. My brother is fine and will be going back to college on the 12th!
As I was preparing for 2009 with a list of all I will do better this year; I started getting convicted. Each year my church makes ministry goals. I normally reach 85% of those goals. Those goals are always my main focus. It’s my personal goals that always lack. I begin to look at the goals I set for myself in 2008 and to my surprise all were incomplete or not fully fulfilled. I good friend of mine posted a blog about the meaning of the number 9. The number nine means to bring conclusion, judgement or finality. 2009 is the year to bring an end to bring to a conclusion for me. I must bring an end to procrastination! I must bring an end to mediocre living! I must bring an it to doubt! I must bring an end to excuses! I must bring a end to fear! I must bring an end to living beneath! I must bring an end to faithlessness! Before realizing or gaining insight about the plan God had for me for 2009. I coined 2009 “It’s mine in 2009″…lol. Each year we come up with these catchy phrases but have we taken the time to really gain insight into what the HolySpirit is speaking to us? What is God calling you to bring conclusion to in your life? What next steps is he impressing on your heart to move in? What things did you leave unfinished in 2008? I challenge you to gain insight into those areas and bring conclusion. Here a simple way to begin.
Proverbs 16:1-9
- Gain Clarity by doing some self-Introspection- What is God saying?
- What do I need to change in my life?
- Commit all your plans to the Lord
- Find accountability- People who care about YOU not what you DO!!
- Develop a strategy and step out
- Track yourself throughout the year every 60 days.
