2009 came with its own slogan. My cell group leader, Lainie, has little rhymes she uses for all sorts of things. Like in 2008 her power slogan was "A Date in '08," and you know what? She went on a date. Then in '09 it was "Lookin' finer in oh niner." Everything was going to just keep going as it's been going and increase, just chillin' this year and walkin' it out. She got engaged.
Lainie, challenged her cell girls at the beginning of last year to get our own power slogan to speak over our lives; a pithy statement to focus on this year used to enlarge our lives. As much as I wanted to resist it, I mean I'm a bit of a hater I have to admit, the plan for my year to focus on was dropped into my heart and fixed firmly to it - "To Align in Oh Nine."
So I spent a year "aligning". I had a back surgery I was pending to get my life back in physical motion. I finally quit smoking with no cheats when no one was looking. I started eating healthy. I joined a gym, got accountability, and made my health a top priority – a nonnegotiable in my life. I moved out of my parent’s house...please pause for a moment of reverent silence to that one...and I started focusing on making my world bigger!
It was a fairly successful year. I came to grand revelations, and I am a completely different person that I was this time last year and I can honestly confess that my relationship with God is different and more dynamic than it was last year.
Now here I sit after the first week of 2010. I am believing for quite a few bigger changes to happen soon and I am focusing on doing well, finishing well, and starting well. I am continuing to focus on the power of the everyday and not always trying to get somewhere else. Spending sometime right where I am.
Last month, when starting to figure out what I wanted for 2010 I decided that I just needed to have a "finer in oh niner" year. I still have some health to get aligned and I'm still learning the power of the everyday. I have to write even more than I did last year and I need to meet more new people than I did, but other than that I am just focused on finishing what I started last year. It was a life style overhaul. It's gonna take me some time. So I decided this year I was believing to incorporate something that I love back in my life.
"To travel again in 2010" is where I'm living this year! I am increasing and that increase will allow me to move around a bit more. I've got some GREAT plans.
Cheers to 2010!
