12. Glorify God with everything I do.

One thing I've learned about setting goals for myself is that I need to be careful with setting timetables for myself.  I want to make sure that I have my heart in the right place and that the things I'm doing are glorifying to God and that I am praising him as I do them.  I found that with strict timetables on my goals last year that I was trying to legalize too much and working on things because I think I have to, not because the Lord is leading me to be working there. I'm surrendering this part of my sinful nature to the Lord, I will let Him lead when and how I pursue tasks this year.

And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.  And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.  Isaiah 58:11-12
