We’re talking about GOALS! Let’s make 2009 better than 2008!

If you want to be successful and intentionally make a difference, it helps to have goals.

The goal for January is to GET IN A GROUP!
A group of people who care about you, people with whom you can share your biggest struggles and successes. People who will encourage you in your goals and help you Get Things Done this year.

Goal 1, last week, was to brainstorm a list of people that you could form this kind of group with, and call them. If you didn’t do that, there’s still time! pull out your pen and paper, make a list of at least 10 names. Call them. Really you only want a group of 3 or 4.

Goal 2: Have a practice meeting with a few of these people. The idea is to find 2 other people that can commit to meeting with you for at least 6 months, if not the entire year. Feel these people out, you don’t want to jump-in with someone that bails out next month. Ask God to bring you the people that will help you grow and that you can help grow. Finding this group will really help with later goals, so let’s focus on that again this week too. If you already have your guys/girls, then take this week to decide when your first meeting will be, how often you’ll meet (we recommend weekly) and where.

This is your life! You are part of the body, uniquely gifted and fashioned to do specific stuff with other body members for the Kingdom! Don’t waste another year, get in a group and LET’S GO!

Do you have any other goals for this year?
