$\"Happy$ <\/a>
\nHello Friend,
\nHappy New Year!
\nI pray you are excited about 2014.
\nI hope you are thankful about 2013.
\nAs I turned the calendar over to a New Year, I spent time reflecting on all that transpired in the last year.
\nI am most thankful for the lessons learned. And I know that God has been there all along.<\/strong>
\nIn 2013,\u00a0I\u00a0read\u00a0many\u00a0helpful books that opened my eyes to healing in several areas of my life.
\nCome back to my blog where I will be sharing notes from those books in the coming months.
\nI spent the last week working through an online course titled\u00a0“Five Days to The Best Year Ever<\/a>” created by Michael Hyatt<\/a>, the former CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishing.
\n $\"Best$ <\/a>
\nMichael Hyatt has much wisdom in leadership and goal setting. I recommend you follow his blog.
\nI had an eye opening experienced as I scribbled answers to the first question he posed in the workbook provided with the course.<\/p>\n

In what areas of your life have you settled?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Deep breath….
\nPause….
\nReflect….
\nI wrote
\nand wrote
\nI prayed and I wrote some more.
\nI found several areas of my life where I’ve settled.<\/p>\n
\n
Health – I stopped working out consistently and gained what I had lost.<\/li>\n
Relationships – I have an ongoing struggle being authentic and vulnerable.<\/li>\n
Finances – I haven’t paid as close attention as I’d like.<\/li>\n
Writing – Writing has taken a back burner for the busyness of life.<\/li>\n
Speaking – I didn’t speak as many times as I had hoped.<\/li>\n
Faith – My deep relationship with Jesus has at times taken a backseat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Then he asked the ever challenging question: How does settling make you feel?<\/strong>
\nI cried and I wrote
\nI sighed and I wrote
\nI prayed and I wrote some more.
\nAfter writing pages and pages of realization of the areas where I settled, I found the motivation to do something about it.
\nI know that when I seek FIRST the Kingdom of God, all else falls into place.
\nI know I must take a STAND<\/span> <\/strong>for righteousness, peace, and joy.
\nSo I spent time in prayer and asked God to show me baby steps for each goal.
\nI created SMART goals for each area with action steps designed to get me back on track.
\n $\"SMART\"$ <\/a>
\nOver the course of the next few months, I’ll be reporting my progress and hope you’ll help me stay on track.
\nWill you share your goals with me so we can keep each other accountable?
\nCan I pray with you to help you examine your purpose?
\nLeave a comment on my blog and I will email you a copy of\u00a0the SMART goal template I recently created.
\nBless you with a touch from God on your 2014.
\nGigi<\/p>\n

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 (NKJV)<\/h3>\n
Stand Fast\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n^{13 <\/sup>But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, ^{14 <\/sup>to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. ^{15 <\/sup>Therefore, brethren, stand fast<\/strong> <\/span>and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. ^{16 <\/sup>Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us<\/i> everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, ^{17 <\/sup>comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hello Friend, Happy New Year!
