I support setting goals and taking steps to achieve those goals. This year I am doing something a little different. First, I am praying about what endeavors I should take on. Second, I am praying about the plans for those endeavors and how I should pursue them. Then, I am noting the results on a monthly basis. This is a game changer.
I started this in 2020. When I took action, after praying, there was a result. I noted the result. After a few months, I started to see how God was moving. I was able to plan the next quarter better since I was practicing praying for the plan and praying for the execution of the plan. It was wonderful. Each month I saw God move in my life. I became so aware of how God moved in my life, I started seeing God move in many other people’s lives.
This year, as you are journaling also take time to periodically to do a check up. How did you see God move in your day, in your week, in your month? Try not to go more than a month without noting how God moved. You will see accomplishments that you did not plan. Achievements you weren’t targeting. Greatness being designed in your life. The craziness in life can cloud God’s work. But if you take the time, you will see how the monthly achievements are all working for your good.
