Along the way I’ve experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly of new year’s resolutions—I’ve made many, never started some, successfully completed few, and broken most.
Throughout the years I’ve discovered that the power of making new year’s resolutions isn’t in the success or failure of my resolutions; instead, it’s in the honest inventory of the past and the continued assessment of future goals and dreams.
January 1st is a check point of sorts—a time to determine where I am and where I want to go; a time to pull out the map to be sure I’m still on the right road (or if I’m on a road at all). Sometimes wandering leads me to interesting places, but a trip taken without ever consulting a map is a meandering journey leading nowhere.
So, break out The Map and determine where your joyful journey will lead in this new year.

The Map: Don't leave home without IT!
ReplyDeleteI am wanting to get into the practice of evaluating my goals every 3 months or so in order to be continually reflecting on the direction I have gone and the direction I am heading, both in the light of God's will for my life.
