“If you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time.”- Stephen J. Weaver

I know it has been awhile since I have blogged, but it kind of hit me today that in just over a month it will be one year since I moved from Maryland back to Lancaster.  Another thing that hit me that it is coming up to 2 years since God directed me to move to Maryland and to be a part of Converge (for those who might not know it’s a leadership geared internship at Sandy Cove Ministries).  One of the things I learned, that I never had thought much about before I was in Converge, was the idea of setting goals and to strive for something more.  Before I went to Converge I just kind of lived life with no expectation, didn’t really strive for anything, and just glided through everyday life.  Anyway, so realizing this little milestone that is coming up I got to thinking back over this past year.  So I started wondering, am I applying everything that I learned from my year there? Have I accomplished any of the goals that I wanted to during the first year of being at home? Do I know where my goal list actually is at? Am I striving for my long term goals? (you should feel honored, you just got a look into my thought process today lol)

Yes, I did know where my goal list was!!  Sad thing, when I actually looked down over it, I realized how many things I didn’t accomplish.  Some things I started but never actually accomplished and then there were some things I never even tried to accomplish.  Thankfully there were some things that were not on the list that I am doing!! But, when I realized all the things on my list that I have left untouched, it was so frustrating.  Why did I waste so much time doing things that didn’t really matter? (for me the big thing is movies/tv L)

So, what now? Well, I can either beat myself up on how much time I wasted or I can just focus on moving forward and readjusting my goals. Today is a new day!! 

So I have a question for those of you who are reading this. What are you going to do with the days God has given you? Are you going to just kind of glide through everyday life or are you going to thrive for something more?  Just a reminder, “If you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time.” (Thank you Stephen Weaver for grilling this into my head!! J) Make goals and strive for them!!!!
