So since this is a new year and a new beginning, I'm going to review my goals and "update" them. Back in 2010 i created a list of goals that i wanted to accomplish. They were mostly personal, some regarding my family, but overall they were simple, random goals.
This year my goals are different. In fact, there is only one goal that i wish to accomplish this year. It has nothing to do with videogames, work, weight loss, weight gain, travel, or anything else like that. No this year, my goal is to serve the Lord. Everything else that i wish to accomplish will be accomplished if i can do this one thing.
I want to be a better father, a better husband, a better man, and a better person all around. I want to be more humble, more selfless, more patient, slow to anger, quick to forgive, I want to be at peace with myself and my surroundings, and rather than try to accomplish all these goals individually, I am going to focus on serving the Lord, with great awe and fear, and know that as i serve Him, he will change me, mold me and conform me to His will.
Besides, by serving the Lord, all these things are accomplished anyways, because these are the things, as well as countless others that we are commanded to do. I want to serve Him because I love Him and i want to be in His will. I want the peace of the Lord upon me, and the joy of the Lord within me, that He might use me to share His love and His light with others. I have faith that He will use me, and I look forward to serving the Lord my God.
Well, til next time, farewell and God Bless,
Average James
