Here we go!

Well, here we go....I'm sure this phrase is all too familiar this time of year! Here we go to the gym, here we go on a more consistent bible study plan, here we go to more photo taking for memories of the kids, here we go for more date nights, here we go for less Facebook and TV and more family time, here we go for more blogging....ha!!! Here we go! Here we go! Here we go! Well that simple word "Go" resounded with me this past weekend as my amazing hubby taught at church about "on your mark, get set, GO" one of the points he shared was that we can decide to go all we want, but deciding is NOT the same as doing!!! We must actually GO! And move forward! You know I haven't always been the type to write out my goals or really even specify them in my heart and mind (I know I'm kind of ashamed to admit that) but after spending some much needed time with Jesus and reflecting back on this last year....he has been so good to me and my family! Blessed us beyond measure and He continues to pour out His favor on us. I'm beyond grateful for all of this, but was a bit disappointed at myself for not being able to thank Him specifically for the things He did that I can't even remember and I have resolved that if I would have simply wrote out my goals and what I was believing God for this past year I could be so much more appreciative and celebrate all that He did do to a much greater extent! So nevertheless, I am committed to setting my goals this year and writing out in my journal what I am believing Him for....remember He is a "sun stand still God" and always goes over and above! I've not quite finished my goals yet, but as I begin to work through them with the right heart and guidance I will have goals for all the different areas of my life and I cannot wait to SPECIFICALLY share and celebrate all that He did in this coming year! May you be encouraged to write out your goals and remember that even if you don't achieve them all at least you MOVED FORWARD!!!!
