So far, this year is off to an exciting start for me. Granted, we are only 12 days in, but I feel good about 2010. Like God Himself, I am calling things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17b NIV). I have written my 5 year vision and my 2010 goals to attain the greater vision, and am working daily towards these goals. What I have found in the process is that I spend more time in prayer as God reveals the future that He has planned for me. Believe me, mine are lofty goals. We as humans have the tendency to get arrogant anytime we do something new or great that brings us accolades from man. We become addicted to the complements, the celebrity, the money, the recognition....all the trappings that come along with success. I remain in constant prayer that as God works through me that my mind will remain on Him. I don't want to become fixated on anything other how I can become greater for Him and how I can expand His kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven (Matt 6:10 NIV). Honestly, the thought of getting so puffed up scares me. Psalm 119:21 says "You rebuke the arrogant, who are cursed and who stray from your commands". I don't want to do anything that causes me to lose God's favor for one second!!!! So I ask that you pray for me that I am able to successfully complete all that is before me this year, and I do so with a humble heart. And when I make it big I promise that I won't forget the little people 8-)
