Do you like writing out goals? I most certainly do. I think it goes right along with my love of making lists. It causes me to focus and gives direction to my day, month and year. But goals are only as good as the frequency with which you visit them.
This year, I am choosing Luke 2:52 to direct some of my goals.
“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” Luke 2:52
Goals for Growing in Wisdom:
* Read at least two books to strengthen my marriage.
(finish The Love Dare and Making Love Last Forever)

Goals for Growing in Stature:

* Break unhealthy habits.

You may notice that I am keeping it simple and somewhat vague. My tendency is to overwhelm myself with so many great thoughts that it only leads to my demise (or that of my goals).

I’m another “list lover” who enjoys writing out goals. I’m hoping to finalize mine today so I can start out the new year on schedule! 😉
