setting goals


Proverbs 16:9  NLT

We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.


Goal setting is an incredible thing.  I remember a statement I heard many years ago that rings in my head and heart when I start to set a plan in place.  “If you aim for nothing, you will hit it every time.”


To set a goal is a good thing.  In fact when we know where we are headed somethings will change and we will know what is ahead of us.


I believe God is in the plans.  The plan for my trip for Cuba came together very fast.  There were several weeks that I wasn’t sure that this trip was to happen.  I had prayed and sought God, but there wasn’t direction for some time.


Then I was in a meeting with several people who are committed to the sports ministry in Cuba.  It was during that meeting that God spoke to my heart.  There were several things that came across my mind as we talked, and it seemed that God not only told me that I should go but the things that needed to be accomplished were very clear.


I am here to share that not only were the goals met but they were exceeded.  God must have done this because things happened that I thought could not happen.  There were specifically three things that needed to be addressed and accomplished, but there were several more that happened along the way.


That is also how I seek to live my life.  I want to make a difference.  I want to see others excel and be blessed.  My heart’s desire is to do what God called me to do.


Keep sharing your heart.  Watch what God will do.  That happens when we listen to God, but some times we do not listen.  Would you agree?


God is good at taking care of the plan that He has given.  Lean in.  Trust Him.  Watch what He does!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
