Thoughts at 39
Today is my 39th Birthday. I spent the afternoon at Chick-fila reading, thinking, praying, writing, dreaming, setting goals. It’s goal setting that I’m determined to make part of my life. Written, real goals. A dream with a deadline. I’m reading a book by Brian Tracy and his quote about goals: “If you could make and accomplish just one goal in the next 24 hours, which one would make the most impact in your life?” (or that’s close to the quote).
That’s a powerful question. Mine had to do with my consistent time with God. Yes, don’t be shocked…Pastors struggle with this too even though we know and preach “no prayer, no power.” I believe that would be the biggest impact on all the rest for me. What about you, what goal could you accomplish that would make the biggest impact on all the rest of your life?
P.S. I had a GREAT birthday!

Wow. That’s a HUGE question.
I think my goal would have to fall in the same camp as yours. I’ve discovered that as my quality and quantity time with the Lord goes, so goes my life. That one goal to consistently spend time with God would radically change the other areas of my life that popped into my head when I was trying to think of my one goal.
Happy Birthday! From a Fellow (for a little while longer anyway) 39er!
