40 days has almost passed...what have you done
What's up everyone
the year 2008 is almost 40 days old what have you done in regards to realizing and accomplishing your Goals. Have you even wrote down your goals yet, have you made a plan and create a day to day pattern to help you reach your goals. If not then why not? We must remember that the commodity of time is some thing we all share equally but the problem is many of us 'waste' time, some of us 'spend' time and only a few of us 'invest' time.
Is it the TV that got you you stuck consider this: The average person watches 1669 hours of television per year. Divide this by 24 and you have 69.54 days spent before the Tell-a-vision or, put another way, the average person spends 4.57 hours per day watching other people who are fulfilling their vision. Its not that I'm totally against TV watching, Some television is a good thing maybe you should consider getting a DVR I got the idea from two Pastor friends one has a 800 member church and the other is Planting two church at the same time as well as Brother Kenny from my church(who works like 55hrs a week has a large family and is a leader in my church and still watches his 'shows')...so if it works for them then maybe it will work for me and guess what I love it, it helps me invest time watching shows I want to watch when I want to watch them(and I can Fastfoward commercials).
There is another thing I'm doing in creating a synergized pattern to help me accomplish two goals at the same time. One of those patterns is what I call 'Lose weight and gain members plan' which is my every other day 'walking/praying(or listening to leadership resources on my Ipod) and evangelism plan'. I walk like 3.5-4.25 miles every other day giving out approx 250-300 flyers...so I'm losing weight walking(4lbs so far) and inviting many people to church at the same time. What about you maybe you can ride a stationary bike while listening to the Bible on your Ipod or maybe you can walk 1 mile with your kids after dinner so you can exercise and bond with your children. The most important thing you can do daily to grow in all areas is to spend some quality devotional time with God this will center and inspire you to live at a higher level.
This week I'm preaching on the beattitudes so join us this Sunday and let God change your attitude!
