goals part 1

In a previous post I spoke about some goals and what we need to be good at this year. So I am interested to know, as I talke about goals, what do you think are the goals we need to have this year? What is the list numbered by priority? I sat down to type this out with a specific goal in mind, but realized just after I typed the title that there is one that goes before all else; love.

You see goals may be the what, but love is the "why". We need to know "why" before "what" because the why motivates us to do any "what".

Love for God should motivate and drive anything, nay, everything we do. That love for god will cause an unmistakeable love for each other. Our goals this year have to do with people. It is our love for people, centered around Jr High students, that will give us excellence as we reach our goals. If love is not the motivating force, it's all done out of vanity and pride, and God will not be in it. I want God to bless all of our efforts and even do more than we can alone.

Number one goal? Be driven by an unstoppable love for God.
