New Year's Resolution

I read about the SMART way to make goals.
S.M.A.R.T.
Specific (I will memorize 2 scriptures a month.)
Measurable (Can you visibly see the goal being obtained?)
Attainable (Cure world hunger-is WAY to big of a problem to complete in a year)
Realistic (Gathering donations and a food drive to help local shelters can be accomplished)
Time (Set a date-Monitor Yourself-If you have a friend who would be your accountability partner in this one area)(I tend not to tell, because I don't want anyone to know if I failed-but not this year-accountability)
My prayer is this
"In agreement with God's Word that says God has plans for me to give me 'a future and a hope,' (Jeremiah 29:11) I ask that God will keep a holy fire burning in me to accomplish his will in what he has called me to do, I agree with Isaiah 43:18-19 "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it?" I will 'redeem the time' during this year. I fully understand that all goals are subject to change as I listen to his leading and remove my wants and desires. By His help these dreams of my heart shall become reality-I Love the Lord, I am thankful that every new year when I self reflect and I desire to grow as a follower of Christ-he doesn't change-he isn't making a new resolution-He has got this all together. How Awesome is he!!!"
I have a friend, She is called to teach-she is awesome, A Praise and Worship leader-You can see how she enjoys worship, She teaches while leading us in Worship. She can accomplish 50 tasks a day and I celebrate her gifts in Christ, what amazes me about her mostly is that she doesn't see it. It is my prayer and my goal this year is for all of us to discover the value of who we are in Christ. I am very thankful for her and her willingness to persevere and open herself up to share. God Bless my sister this year... and you.
