Goals Are For Moles Who Live In Holes (2010 Prayers)
I had insomnia last night and decided to perpetuate it even more and thought of goals I’d like to accomplish, get closer to in 2010. I don’t care for resolutions. I think that is just setting yourself up for failure. I also don’t think I like goals. To me it sounds like it is me trying to do it in my own strength, when I can tell you right now I’m going to need some serious God help in all of these.
So here we go, in no particular order, my prayers to God for 2010:
- Become a woman of prayer. Yes, I’m praying that God would make me a woman of prayer. I’ve experienced that prayer does move mountains. I want to be a mountain mover.
- Live missionally. Last May I got a tattoo on my wrist that says “Missio”. It is Latin for sent. I was thinking the other day that it’s taken me about 18 years of being a Christian to actually learn what being a Christian means. God sent us to be missionaries to our friends, family, society, culture. I didn’t endure an immense amount of pain in my wrist for pretty lettering, I did it as a reminder of how I’m supposed live – sent.
- Drop 15-20 pounds. I’ve lost 32 pounds over the last two years (I got unmotivated at times). I need to lose more. This means changing my eating habits and exercising. Since I’m still recovering from foot surgery I’m not sure what exercise is going to look like for a while. I plan on asking my dr. what I can do when I see him next.
- Passion for my marriage (in all aspects). God created us to be passionate people, why wouldn’t He want to bless in this way?
- Passion for the Bible. I know me. I’m not expecting to read it everyday (gasp I know). I’d like to at least have more passion for reading it. If that ends up being everyday that my spiritual growth will be better because of it.
I’m sure there are more but this is all I can think of/remember at the moment. What are you praying that God would accomplish in your life in 2010?
