First things first...

They are already jeopardized.  The goals I set for this year have had inconsistent commitment before the first week of the year is complete.  It wasn't deliberate.  It was circumstancial.  Yet the truth remains.  I have already made mistakes.

Yet I have a choice.  I can forget the goals.  Or I can find a different way to reach them.  Just because I messed up the past several days does not mean I am a failure. The decision has been made. It's time to create a new strategy and pursue it.

While considering new options, I realized something very important.  My goals may have been positive.  But they were lacking.  I made them according to my own needs, desires and strength.  I left Him out of my plan.

My first...and new...goal has now been changed.  I will seek Him first.  I will rely on His guidance, His strength, His hope and His way more than my own. 

When new goals are eventually reached, I will also realize another truth.  The accomplishment/s were much more about Him...than about me.  May He be honored, praised and served above all else.♥~thl
