Week Two: Fast from Fluff, Get off Your Duff!

If you recall, during Week 12, I asked you to prepare your "whole" self for the Christmas season by asking three questions:

1. What eating and exercise plan will you follow until January 1, 2010?
2. What amount of time will you spend with God through the holidays?
3. How much money do you plan to spend on gifts this Christmas?

One of the only ways I know to achieve long-term goals is to keep tabs on them daily and to keep them in front of you (in writing).

I chose this week's topic knowing that one week before Christmas, some of us will have to seriously re-evaluate how to achieve our goals--either fasting from stuff or finally getting off our duff! (I don't mean to offend, but coaching all these years reminds me that many people struggle to achieve their goals because they give up on them, stop charging after them, or fatigue when they get close to the finish line.)

Let's each review the three questions (above) and set our sights on the finish line of saving money, calories, and time in 2009!

Be encouraged,

Week Three: Deliver the Good News to the Desperate

Have you ever shared your testimony before--in public, with friends, family, or strangers?

This week, I'd like you to consider how you would share your God story in each of these situations.

Start with an outline: before I knew God, how I met Him, since I've known Him. Then imagine yourself in each place.

For example, if you were in a public setting, maybe you could share your God story at your church (in Sunday School class), at a neighborhood Christmas coffee (where you invite a few friends), or at work in a breakfast bible study. If you shared with friends and family, you could incorporate a spiritual sharing time and/or scripture reading before or after a traditional meal or gift giving. With strangers, you can be alert to opportunities God gives you with clerks, transportation agents, or by intentionally seeking out an opportunity at a homeless or food shelter.

Role play with someone what you would say, how it would feel to tell your story, your opening comments and a closing comment or prayer. Then get ready for God to use you.

As you prepare yourself to be used by God to share your story (and His story) with others, imagine that this is God's plan and He's inviting you to be a part of sharing the Good News with those who are desperate for change, hope, peace, and forgiveness. You have the answer that people are searching to find!

Be encouraged,

Becky

P.S. Saving money, calories and time update/evaluation is next week, so stay focused!

Week Four: No Dimdim option this week!

I will be making our call from Los Angeles, therefore, I can't rely on video connection. Hopefully, we'll try next time!
