Looking back at 2010

In the Beginning of the Year I and Stephanie made some goals...lets see how many I actually did
Faith's 2010 Goals:
*Raise Awareness about Chocolate Slave by starting a Campaign in Uf
I have raised awarness and have told people about it, but still haven't been able to do a campaign
*Become a mentor either through Big Brothers Big Sisters or Tutor at East Side
* Keeping the Sabbath and read Christian Books during my Sabbath
I have barely kept the Sabbath. During the Summer I completely forgot you were suppose to Sabbath (smh)
*Praying With My sisters on the Phone weekly
Epic Failure...only did it like twice
*Staying connected with my friends down south by bi-weekly talks instead using txting as my communication to them
I am still in contact with them...but didn't have the time to talk them bi-weekly
*Get a Summer Job
Praise the Lord I did!
*Following a proposed budget (learn how to make your own budget on Excel here: http://www.vertex42.com/ExcelArticles/how-to-budget.html)
Didn't even make a budget!
*Tithing even before I get a summer Job...hence strengthening my Faith in God with my funds
My tithing wasn't how is should of been
*Learn How to play Worship Songs on the Piano during the summer
Organic 1 and 2 Took over my life plus work
*Start Christian Open Mics with the J Movement
It was amazing!
*Read ahead
Failure

*study for the MCAT & GRE
Epic Fail
My work out plan was an Epic Failure also!!!




To be honest this is all quite embarrassing. I publicly made so many goals and didn't even complete half of it! However, I believe I know why. In the beginning of this year I made all this goals that I believe I could carry out. But who am I to boast in the future? It is actually a sin to boast in the future with out saying Lord's willingly.

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” ¹⁴ Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. ¹⁵ Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” ¹⁶ As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. ¹⁷ If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
James 4:13-17

For 2011 I don't have a set goals, as of right now. I feel like I am in front of like 5 doors and not sure which one the Lord is going to give me the key to walk through. So, I am taking life one step at a time. Going to concentrate on stewarding what the Lord has already given me this year

a) I am a college student and thus Lord willingly I would like to excel in all my classes and graduate in may 2012
b) The Lord has given me an opportunity to be a research assistance at the United States Department of Agriculture thus, Lord willingly I would like to gain as much skills and knowledge from that job
c) (no reason why this is last) but I just want to draw closer to the Lord and keep my eyes and ears open to the opportunities he drops my way.

I don't want to be sleeping when he has already told me to keep watch and miss his blessings

<3 Faith

I would say that I believe God wants to use me to do something great. I don't know how to explain it but he has given me so much fire and passion for developing countries. I can wait to see how he uses me to glorify his name. Like Sho Baraka said "I just want to make you famous Lord"

Listen to the Song
