life goals

Acts 6:5&8 "They chose Stephen, a man full of faith...Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people"

What a resume! These descriptive phrases about Stephen made me wonder what could ever be written about me if someone decided to chronicle the history of my church? "She could sing real good." "She developed miraculous typing skills".

The final chapter of Batterson's "Wild Goose Chase" will be rattling around in my head and heart for some time and part of the challenge given by the author is to develop LIFE GOALS. I'm not sure how, at 41 years old, I can truly say "I HAVE NO GOALS". I believe it makes sense for some goals to be concrete accomplishments but reading about Stephen this morning reminds me that the more valuable goals are the ones I set for my heart, my spirit, my faith journey.

Goal #1 - To be found faithful; full of God's grace and power!
