Changing Seasons

There’s just something about a season changing that inspires us to reflect on life, isn’t there.

For me, the Fall season heightens the urgency to evaluate where my year is projected to end. I start asking myself hard questions and pondering what more I want to fit in before it really comes to a close.

I pull out my dream board, my prayer notes, my “wish lists” and I look to see what else yet needs to be done and I begin to celebrate the ones I’ve successfully crossed off already.

Do you do that too?

It seems like I start my year off in January with really high hopes of what I think I can accomplish and then month-by-month, I put steps in place to get me there.

Somewhere along this wonderful journey of life, I began to realize that baby steps would be needed in order for me to knock off the “Big Ones” on my checklist. I think that’s from learning the hard way in years past.

So I put more details to my dreams. Rather than saying - I want to go hiking….. I put - Go hiking 3 times this year.

I decided to really ask myself early on what I thought would be a good measure of success for me before the year ended.

To date, I have a few more things I need to finish out, but all in all, we’re tracking pretty good.

How about you?

What goals have you set for yourself - body, soul, and spirit? I’m so grateful that God never gives up on us and that His Word never changes!
