2013 Goals

Yesterday was a day of getting organized and setting goals. It has been a long time since I have had a vision and direction. I realize that has caused me to lazy and complacent! Thankful that God has laid this conviction on my heart and motivated me to action!

The Bible says, "The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps." Proverbs 16:9

I am planning my way but asking the Lord to establish my steps! I thought I would share my goals here so that it is a constant source of reminder and a place to check them off.
