WORD FOR 2016: FAITHFULNESS
You hit a lot of your marks! You list writers and goal oriented folks put me to shame.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, Vee! But I don't really think that I put you to shame. You may not be big on writing lists, but you do get a lot accomplished!
DeleteFor myself, if I did not set goals or write lists, I wouldn't get anything done. I'd be just sitting here letting life happen. So for me, it's become a necessity to set goals and get things in writing.
It is a good thing to write down goals...otherwise we tend to spin our wheels or get distracted. One of my October goals is to clean out our garage. It has been so hot that I have not attempted it. I have some outside trim that needs painting before cold weather arrives. So I need to hop to it.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Arlene. As we've all heard many times, if you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time. And if I didn't write down goals, I'd be aiming at nothing for sure. The older I get the more concerned I become that I fulfill the purposes God has for me in this life. So for me lists are an essential to reaching those purposes.
DeleteI wouldn't want to be cleaning out a garage in Alabama heat either. The cleaning I have done at my dad's on the very hot humid days was bad enough!
