As the year winds to a close, I am beginning the age old ritual of reflecting on my life. What could I have done better? What is my purpose? Why am I here? Did my life make a difference to someone? These are just some of the questions I ask myself.
What could I have done better? I could have been more open to others in need. Very often I don't step in and offer help because I don't want to offend and then later kick myself for not offering. It's the rejection thing I don't like.
What is my purpose? To have a servant's heart and attitude. I want to use my God given talents and abilities to serve others.
Why am I here? To make a difference in the lives of those that surround me. To love and serve those that God has placed in my path.
Have I made a difference in someone's life this year? This is a hard question to ask myself but I have a card from one of the students in my teen Sunday school class tucked in my Bible case that lets me know that I have made a difference to someone. I read that card whenever I begin to question what good I have done for others.
My goals for 2012
To continue to serve others and become more like Him. To let His light shine through me. To become humble, quiet, and reserved. To not try to be in the spotlight. To be someone that people look up to.
What are your goals?
Peace,
Southern Ladye
