At the beginning of each month I’m sharing about some plans I’ve made, with the hope it will hold me accountable. What are your plans this year?
1. Read the whole Bible. Still at it. Officially one month behind on my schedule, but I’ve got time to catch up, right?
2. Run a full marathon. Check. Knees still hurt. The key now is create new fitness goals. I’ve been slackin.
3. Climb a 14,000′ Mountain. Thinking end of August. No idea how to make this work.
4. Visit somewhere I’ve never been. Well, the two conferences I wanted to go this year have come and gone…so I need a new plan.
5. Find a full-time job. I’m praying a lot about this. I’m hoping God will provide a clear opportunity. Maybe even an alternative to a full time job that is more in line with my skills/passions.
6. Take at least one graduate course. Circled fall semester on the calendar. Still have some serious debt to pay off to make it happen.
7. Read 40 books. Knocked a few more out in April. Reviews soon.
8. Volunteer at least 1 time a month. Worked with the children’s ministry at church this month, but I’m not sure whether or not to count that. Some cool opportunities coming in May.
9. Pay off all debt, except school loans. I have got one big bill still holding me back. Plotting to pull all the stops and pay it off this summer.
10. Share my faith regularly. Had a cool convo tonight actually. I’m praying for more boldness in this category.
11. Begin leading and/or hosting a regular gathering for skeptics and Christians to study the Bible. Not there yet. More prayer needed, and less timidity.
12. Write daily, including journaling, blogging and working on a book. Really slacked on this in April.
