New Year Goals - 2009: Update #2

It is good to have goals... but this year, I am going to approach this a different way than in years past.

Goals:

• By Faith, I will be over 90% with my Quiet Times in 2009, with over 90% each month.

I'm looking pretty good with this right now. I normally am at this time of the year... still, it is under 90%... but I have more determination thus far. I have pushed through days where I did not "feel it"... so that is encouraging.

• By Faith, a family member will be baptized this year.
• By Faith, I will lose weight and be under 175 pounds by the end of July.

I am not feeling to good about this. Still, God works in wonderful ways.

• By Faith, Joyville will be up and running by the end of January. -DONE-
• By Faith, I will support my wife emotionally and lead her spiritually in 2009.
• By Faith, I will read a book a month (in addition to the Bible).

Two months into the year, and I haven't read one.

• By Faith, I will consider others and not think of myself.
  

I talked with my wife and I decided to move my studies to study out encouragement in the month of March.
