We are halfway through 2021! Wild right?? While you could just let the year go by and let all of your resolutions disappear, I think you can do better. Maybe you started some of your 2021 resolutions, but they didn’t pan out. Perhaps you didn’t even get to start working on those goals you set. Whatever the case may be, what if you began to now?
I always have believed there is no time like the present to start something. However, maybe you dont know where to start. My suggestion is to start small! Try a SMART goal or write down the baby steps you need to get to your goal. Plan out what it would look like if you had a successful rest of 2021. You have six months left of this year; what are you going to do with it? Are you going to start reading your Bible every day? Do you want to learn a language or save more money? Maybe you want to try more new things or want to be more organized. Or perhaps it is giving up something. The things that don’t help you grow don’t serve you any longer. Dont waste your time.
Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to push yourself to become better. We all have places to grow, and if you aren’t intentional about it, it won’t happen. It is a hard truth but a truth nonetheless.
Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
1 Corinthians 10:31
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Do your best becasue Jesus has called you higher. Do your best because Jesus has called you worthy.
As always, feel free to message me if you have any prayer requests. If you need help planning out your goals, that is probably one of my most favorite things to do so; please feel free to message me about that too, haha. Also, if you are looking to grow personally, my last post was about growing as well. After AAPI Month covers these questions: Are you considerate of others and their feelings? Are you aware of other cultures and honor them as much as your own? Do you have a diverse friend group, or do all your friends look like you? If you feel you need to work on any of those, I give small tips on them.
Along with that, the following videos/podcasts have helped encourage me to stay on task with my goals going into the second half of the year. I hope they may inspire you to choose something new to add to your year.
