Hey Friends,
This week starts the second half of the year. For many that is not a big deal, other than the year is flying by! For the other half it is a big deal because you should be halfway through your Personal Growth Plan for 2010! This is a milestone for most of us. I’ll bet if most of us were honest, we might be just a little behind our plan. Are you? Did you realize the year was halfway over?
I have to be honest with you; I am a little behind. The faster the year goes, the farther behind I get. My first mistake this year was not looking at my plan often enough. If you are not inspecting your plan, you probably shouldn’t expect to complete it. That’s where I got busted.
I have been writing, so that usually puts me behind in my reading. I’m right where I need to be in Bible reading, but with other books – not so good. How about you? Have you pulled out your plan lately? Where are you with your Bible reading and study?
I also have to admit this is where I blew it last year. Now, I am going to review my plan weekly or daily until I catch up. Personal growth is not something that can be done in a day. It is the journey of a lifetime. Disciples are not made in a day, but they are made daily! I love the discipline of Daniel. He prayed three times a day. He stayed close to the Lord because of his daily disciplines. How are yours?
This is just a friendly reminder that this past weekend was half-time. You got a day off and had some great fun. Now it is time to get down to business. Pull out the plan you did last December and get back into the race.
Just a thought,
Pastor Chris
