RESOLUTIONS: Goodbook 1-10-15

The New Year is a fun time to look back at the previous year and set new goals for the year to come.  Having support and accountability really helps with achieving our goals.  We can help each other be all that God created us to be!  I'll share my update and resolutions with you, and I invite you to do the same with me.  You can comment on this post or communicate with me directly via the social media links listed on this page.

Last Year:

Last year I made two resolutions.

1) 40 Days to a Healthier Life. I led our church in doing the Daniel Plan small group study.  We learned how to make healthy choices with our Faith, Food, Fitness, Focus, and Friends.  What started as a 40 Day journey has developed in a new lifestyle for me.  I have a health plan and health buddies to keep me on track.  Although weight is just one element of a healthy lifestyle, I have lost 20 lbs since starting the journey!

2) 50 Commands of Jesus.  My goal with our Goodbook group was to learn and live all 50 commands of Jesus.  There is Good News in every command when applied to daily life.  I was able to do 25 with you.  It has definitely helped me grow and stretch and experience God's faithfulness to a higher level.  I hope you've had the same experience.  I will shoot for doing the other 25 in the upcoming year.  In case you missed any or would like to review, here are links to the 25 commands we've done so far...

·         Summary…
·         Seek God first
·         Golden rule

Next Year:

1) Finish the remaining 25 commands of Jesus.
2) Start a Marriage & Family Care ministry.  I feel God calling my family and I to start a ministry to help build and rebuild strong, healthy, God-honoring marriages and families.  If any of you feel a passion for this, I'd love to partner with you.

Your Turn:

Those are my updates and resolutions.  How about you?  How did you do with your goals last year?  What are your dreams and resolutions for the upcoming year?
