As I was thinking about the year 2014 it seems as though it is flying by quickly. January 1^st was just a few short months ago and many people were setting new goals and making new year’s resolutions. Some people have honored those goals, and resolutions. Some tried to stick with their plans but, have found themselves back at the starting point having made little progress.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

This message is to encourage you to keep moving forward regardless of what category you fall into. If you have been diligent about accomplishing your goals, congratulations!!! Continue to keep your eye on the finish line and you will reach your destination.

If you happen to have gotten off track please don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s never too late to start over, and you still can reach that desired place with a new mindset which includes the right thoughts, attitudes, and actions.

“The word of God says that we can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” Phil 4:13

Start where you are. Start with an “I Can, I Will, I Am” attitude. Resolve within yourself that you can do what you set out to do because Jesus promised to give you strength. With His strength you cannot help but be successful.

Make some “I will” declarations over your life such as, I will move forward. I will work on my goals every day. I will make it to the finish line!

Be intentional about daily adding actions that line up with what you have been declaring. Continue to trust in the fact that God wants you to move forward and that He is walking with you. Before you know it, you will begin to notice the positive changes in your life. At this point, you will be able to confidently say,

“I am” walking in the right direction which is towards the goals that you’ve been trying to complete. Sweet success is what you will experience and God will get the glory because He showed you how to get there, and you followed His lead. There is great reward for partnering with God.

Joyful, confident, peace resides in those who flow with God.
