TARGET

The meaning I found for target says a person, object or place selected as the aim of attack. So alrighty, then my question is am on a projection to hit my targets? Goals, target you with me?

I can share with you today that so far this eleventh day of the year, finds me striving to hit my targets. I am still reading my Bible daily. I am listing every morning three things I am grateful for. I am continuing to write Every day in Every way I am getting better and better.

I can tell you that the first week, I worked out at home and did not make it up in time to get to the gym. So I analyzed my game plan to help me hit the target. What would help me get up and get it done? I still sit my clothes out the night before. I also moved the phone away from the side of the bed, so that I have to get all the way up to turn it off. I have been going to bed by 8:30 and that also seems to help. My gym workouts have been challenging to say the least. I will have to work hard to get back up to the weight I was lifting. Good thing muscle has memory.

I have also been much calmer. This is two fold, as I believe that starting my day with the Word of God has helped, and I also let the Dr give me something to help my agitation. I have found that when I start my day reading the Word, it helps me practice the pause. It also tells me to have a plan. Luke 14 :28 Is there anyone here who, planning to build a house does not sit down and figure the cost so you know if you will complete it. I believe this is true for anything that we plan on achieving we must put it on paper and count the costs.

I have also this week been reminded in Luke 6-11 to love my enemies and treat them well. This verse helped me to overcome anger and resentment many years ago. I was able to care for my step father, in he last years and in doing so forgave him. He was no longer the enemy. This set me free from that burden. We also read we must forgive to be forgiven, this also has helped me overcome the sin of unforgiveness. I also read if we listen and obey Jesus we will be on a strong foundation. Today in Luke 12-16 I read Worry does nothing to add to our life. I was able to use this just this morning in a conversation. This one is very hard to do, for me. I am getting better at it. I think we are guilty of giving our worries to God and then picking them back up.

I believe as I stay on target with my plans to accomplish my goals, and I continue to obey the Word of God I will reach my goals. He will open doors for me no man can close. He will also close doors that do not need to be open.

I wish I could say that I accomplish everything in my planner every day, but I do not. I can tell you I have accomplished a great deal of them with out anger, resentment or totally stressed out.

How about you all, are you working on hitting your target?
