New Beginnings!

We arrived home last night, after a great time in Halifax visiting with family and friends.

When I woke up this morning, I felt it was time to sit down, take a few moments, and think about the new year, and the changes I want to see in 2010. I realize that just because the year changed from 2009 to 2010, does not magically mean that things will be different. Every change requires effort, and means doing something that I did not do before. But a new year does give some sense of a new start, and I want to capitalize on that!

I have written out my goals for this new year, and pray that I will follow through on these goals as the months continue.

As I was pondering this morning, I came across some quotes. Many of these quotes do not have authors, as they were not listed on the website.

"So we make it our goal to please Him". 2 Corinthians 5:9

"When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps".

"Beginning is easy - continuing hard".

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going".

"A journey of a thousand miles must start with a single step".


I pray you have a wonderful day! Make the most of it :)
