I am so looking forward to getting together with a group of friends this weekend. We're going to eat. We're going to talk. We're going to hold each other accountable.
It may not sound like the perfect dinner date to you, but this "Girls Goal Get Together" is long overdue. I am tired of setting goals in my mind or on a careless sheet of paper. I am ready for someone to hear what I have to say, to listen to what I say I am going to accomplish. I am just fine with someone texting or calling me up and asking just where I am in the great progression of my goals, as a matter of fact; I think I crave the accountability.
There is a vast emptiness from knowing there is more to me and that I'm just completely missing the mark. God has designed me for more, and I am failing. I'm not saying that so people will feel sorry for me. I am saying I have failed because the recognition of that failure pushes me to seek more of Him and less of myself - because self fails.
I am ready to meet with the girls because I want my Christ-centered goals to be more than mere words or dead paper. I know my friends will hold me to my goals as they lift me up in prayer and love. And I am willing to do the same for them.
This is one way I will begin 2013.
