• Endeavors, Desires, Envisions

  Psalm 16:2, "I say to the LORD, 'You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.'"

  Apart from God, I have "things", but I have no GOOD thing.

  I endeavor to know nothing and desire nothing but God.

  As this year comes to an end, I choose to:
  1. leave behind the hurts & pains (from this year and all the previous years) (as much as possible)
  2. fight off my fears with faith
  3. throw off the burden of my spiritual resume
  4. seek forgiveness and reconciliation

  In 2010, I desire to:
  1. Live in harmony with others as much as I'm able
      - act with deference towards others, so that I don't have to say sorry but say sorry when I have to
  2. Live in humility
      - leave my spiritual resume behind
      - be teachable, be a learner
  3. Live in faith
      - when confronted with fears, step out in faith
      - don't let fears hold me back
      - seek God's empowerment as I walk in obedience
  4. Live in freedom
      - don't be a wounded victim, don't be a paralytic or an invalid; walk, leap, dance in freedom
      - continue to seek healing where needed

  In 2010, I envision:
  1.  more prayer (personal & intercessory)
       - what does it mean to pray: 
            incessantly? 
            with boldness? 
            with authority?
  2.  more Holy Spirit
       - being empowered by Him
       - being led by Him
  3.  more waiting
       - listening to the Holy Spirit
       - silence, be slow to speak
  4.  more intimacy
       - apart from God, I have no good thing
  5.  more vision
      - purpose, meaning
      - revelations from God (which stems from all the previous)
  6.  more action
      - how can we be 'defenders of the weak' and 'comforters of the needy'?
  7.  more generosity
       - bless others by sharing what He's given us
