SISSS IT'S TIME TO START PRIORITIZING THOSE GOALS!

Screaming heyyyy gurllll to all my sisterssss! What’s Up Fammmm! I’ve been missing you friends…

Every time I get back on the blog I literally feel like it’s a SISTER REUNION! So sisss I’m sending you hugs today! I’m sending you prayers today! I’m sending some love your way today because I’ve missed you…

So a couple of weeks ago as I was scrolling through Instagram I saw a quote that said “Don’t let your 2019 goals become your 2020 goals.” That quote literally slapped me in the face because I realized that my 2016 goals were never completed, and then they became my 2017 goals. Then I transferred my 2017 goals that I never completed in 2016 to my 2018 goals. So you can probably guess at this point that my 2018 goals were not completed as well. Now here we are in 2019 and I have been struggling to complete this year’s goals.

Sis, I’m going to be honest with you. Do you want to know the real reason why I haven’t completed my goals? Well, first I was not minding my business... Secondly, I was always trying to be in the mix of the latest gossip and drama. Then, I was always caught up with some guy that I shouldn’t have been talking to. You know those guys that God tells you to leave alone but you ignore what God says?!? Yes that was me! Then your girl would always rather confront other people’s faults rather than HER OWN FAULTS. To top it all off I was constantly procrastinating rather than getting things done ahead of time. So your sis was wasting her time and energy on assignments that God never assigned to me. Let that sink in. How many of you are caught up in things that God never called you to?

This is not a blog to be mean to myself or point out all of my faults, but I do believe that God is calling me to take a DEEPER LOOK AT THE INSIDE OF MYSELF and NOT EVERYONE ELSE. See some of us go through life always pointing the finger at others, but our finger is pointing right back at us. How can we truly grow if we don’t confront the areas in our life that need growth? I have gone through life blaming others for my bad habits. As a result of that I start to make excuses why I can’t get certain things done.

Sis, I want you to join me on this journey of facing our truth. God wants us to complete the goals that HE has placed on our heart. We can’t complete those goals if our energy is in other places. We can’t complete our goals if we are still holding on to marijuana. Our goals are harder to accomplish if we are still in the relationship that God has told us to leave. Our goals can’t get accomplished if we aren’t organized. & how in the world can our goals GET accomplished if we aren’t minding our OWN business!

Let’s cheer because this month we are dedicating our energy to praying, planning, and knocking some of our goals out!

RECOMMENDED “GET THE GOALS DONE” TOOLS:

Get the Goals Done Bible Verse:“But as for you, be strong; don't give up, for your work has a reward." (CSB Version). “So you must be brave. Don't give up! God will honor you for obeying him.” (CEV Version). 2 Chronicles 15:7

Get the Goals Done Challenge: Sis, I want you to accomplish some of your goals! So this month let’s take 2 days out of each week to log off of social media! Gurlll!, I’m just going to delete the app the two days I chose to step away! It’s amazing how much we accomplish when we are off of social media.

Get the Goals Done Exercise: Hey sis, so in order for us to complete these goals we have to get organized. So I want you to make time for some quiet time. During this time you are going to assign yourself a task for each day of the month. This is going to help us become more disciplined and getting in the habit of getting things done! Example on day one of the month you may assign yourself to drink 3 bottles of water. Day 2 you may call a family member you haven’t talked to in a while. Day 3 you might begin writing the first chapter in your book you have been planning to write. Each day you should assign yourself a goal and push to complete that goal by the end of the day. You will do this exercise until the end of the month! WE CAN DO THIS!
