Living a Life Worthy of the Gospel

Thinking about the coming year, I realize I have been very lazy in 2010.  I haven’t read, prayed, studied, blogged (ahem…), built relationships, exercised, etc. like I should.   A lot of things have changed this year from planting a new church to having a new daughter.  With all the stuff that has happened, I haven’t been intentional in my pursuits and have lived life by default instead of by design.  This has got to change in 2011.  A few weeks ago, I developed a Master Action Plan for the new year.  Simply put, it’s a list of goals in different areas of my life that I want to strive to be excellent in and improve over the next year.  My theme is to live a life worthy of the Gospel (Phil. 1:26-27).

Some of my goals include rising early for reading, praying and exercising.  Others include spending more time with my family and less on unimportant things like Facebook, Twitter and the internet.  Still, others include blogging consitently, journaling and reading more.  I want to make 2011 my best year ever and I will need all the help I can get.  If you would like to have the great task of holding me accountable to my goals, I would love to share them with you.  The more people that are holding me to my goals the more likely I am to reach them.  Let me know and I can send you a list of what my plans are for 2011.

So what about you?  What are some of your goals for the New Year?  Have you even thought about it?  What can you improve on in your life relationally, financially, spiritually, physically, etc.?  Do you want someone to hold accountable so that you reach your goals?  I would love to help you as well.
