Goals For 2008

2007 will not be remembered as one of my best years and I for one am glad that we have welcomed the arrival of a new year. The past year felt like one big battle with Satan and by December I was exhausted and needing a change. Fortunately, each new year brings with it a feeling of hope and renewal.

I've spent several days thinking and praying about 2008. I've found my scripture to stand on for the year and written my goals for the year. I'm ready to do what I can to see these goals become reality and to trust God to do what I can't do.

My 2008 Scripture Verse is Jeremiah 29:11 which says "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

My goals for the year are :

My pastor preached a wonderful sermon that I want to encourage everyone to listen to as you think about your own goals for 2008 and the changes that you want to see in your own lives. You can listen to the sermon here.
