Goals for 2013
As Christian we can easily give things into Gods hands, let Him take control and forget about them. We never set goals for ourselves, when we give them to God as we wait for Him to show us. When seeking God we need to take what he shows us and then set a goal for us to reach them.

Smart Goals

|
Specific: A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. "I want a better job" is a general goal.
Measurable: establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal.
Attainable: You can attain almost any goal you set when you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out those steps.
Relevant: Your goals must be relevant to your life. Therefore remember that each goal can be refined or even deleted as your life changes.
Timely: A goal should be grounded within a timeframe. With no timeframe to ensure you are held responsable for the successful completion of your goal.
Accountable: You should be accountable to another person or group of people to ensure you are held responsable for the successful completion of your goal.

We also need to remember where these, and other, things fit into our lives the graph below shows us the areas where things can go. its called the Urgent, Important Table. Try to think where your list of 10 things goes. there is no wrong or right answer.
In this table we can see 4 places where things can fit.
1. Urgent & important (1st priority): these are the important things / goals to us. We want to or have to do them right now.
2. Not urgent & important (2nd priority): these are critical things that have to be done but not immediately.
3. Urgent & not important (3rd priority): these things need to be done but as not important to use get left undone.
4. Not urgent & not important (4th priority): these things are so low on our list we can end up forgetting about them which is not so good.
I hope this small part of the sermon will help you to define things and give you an overview of what you want to and need to do in 2013.
