Back on Track

Well, today is Friday. It has been a long week. Friday is a great day to be in the office. Basically, very few staff members work on Fridays. This means, I get a lot of quiet time to get my work completed. In fact, right now the office area is empty. With much to do, today should be a good day.
Every six months, each staff member draws up goals to accomplish within each area of ministry. When we talk about goals as a staff, we are referring to the items that go above and beyond our weekly responsibilities. In the past, I have thought through things that need to be accomplished and made them my goals. I would look at the overall ministry and look for the "extra" stuff. Those would become my goals. Often, those goals were not met within the six month timline. This time, I changed the focus of the goals. First, I wrote out my weekly responsibilities with basic information about them. Then, I wrote out goals for each area of responsibility. In my mind, this seems to make a lot of sense. Plus, all of the goals appear to be attainable. That's the point of a goal.
So, next week, we will all get together and talk through our plans. This is an exciting time for us because we are embracing the visions that God has for us and pursuing His leading. If each one of my goals is reached, I think there are twelve right now, this ministry will explode. But, it's not about me. These goals are thought out, written down, talked through with the mindset that God is going to allow all of this to happen. That's why this is so exciting!!

Just my thoughts...
