I want start the New Year strong and take the next 21 days to seek God. Three weeks is a great time period to start new habits and reinforce good habits. I want to seek God and get my personal habits on the right track. Here are my eight goals to get this year started out right:
My Goal: Get my body, soul, and spirit in top-notch condition.
1. Read God’s Word daily: Do my regular reading thru the Bible in a year and also read through the Gospels in 21 days: Matthew to John: 4 chapters per day (to get to know Jesus better)
2. Pray daily: Spend a minimum of 3-10 minute prayer times: AM, Lunch, PM
3. Worship daily: Spend time worshipping by singing and playing the piano or guitar
4. Minimize Social Media: Only use Facebook & Twitter for posting daily readings
5. Fast TV one day per week and minimize TV exposure: 1 hour per day
6. Fast food one day per week: Full fast one day per week and follow the Daniel Plan the other 6 days per week (no rich foods).
