I have a lot of goals that reflect who I am as a person. They reflect my interest, hobbies, things I’m good at, skills I have, etc. etc. Let me share with you some of the Christian goals that I have set in my mind. Ready? Let’s get started.
Write every day in this blog
This blog is an opportunity with an opportunity. I love seeing this blog grow, which it has. It hasn’t gotten the following or traffic that I wanted, yet, but it has shown some improvement over the past few months. In March I had three views! Count them, THREE! I have definitely seen some improvements since then.
I remember when I first started this blog, I kept telling myself, “okay just write another blog post, just today and get it over with.” Now, I can’t wait until I write another blog post. This is so exciting! I get to share what I think with the rest of the world, as well as, share my music and the word of God with people.
So far, I haven’t written every day in this blog, but that’s not stopping me from continuing to write and setting the goal that for the rest of the year, I will write every day.
Write 50 songs
I am trying to develop my songwriting skills. I want to become a professional songwriter because that has been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid. However, I don’t want to write songs for the world, but rather, I want to write songs for the Lord. I want to write these 50 songs because I want to show God that he really means the world to me.
For me to give my music to God, is like giving the world to God. Why? Because I am a musician, I am a good musician, and I want to use my music for God’s purposes not my own.
I remember at the beginning of the year, I had the goal of making an album. I had the goal of writing 10 songs. Now, I have written 15 songs and I couldn’t be happier. All of this is experience. Experience that I can use when I become a professional songwriter. I have also learned how to mix, mixing is so important in the music production process that I decided to learn how to do it. So, my mixing, songwriting, music theory, music production, and music composition skills are what I have so that I can compete in the world of music. I am so thankful for those skills.
Pray Everyday
I have been dreaming of this goal for a while now. I have been asking God to give me victory over the fact that I want to pray to him every day. My problem hasn’t been the commitment with God, when it comes to praying, my problem has been the fact that I don’t know what to say.
Sometimes when I am just lying in bed I think to myself, “man I should really be praying.” So, sometimes I pray in the middle of the night, however, it’s not consistent. I need to make it consistent because that is how God would like it.
However, just recently, I heard a pastor on the radio preaching and he was preaching on how to pray. So, I heard this preaching and I said to myself, “wow I need to start doing this!” The pastor basically said that I need to write down my prayers because that is how I’m going to develop my prayer life.
So, I started writing my prayers in my phone and then eventually, I moved up to a journal. I had a prayer journal and then I turned it into a spiritual journal. So now, this prayer journal has all of the spiritual things that happen in my life. I write down prayers, songs, lyrics, ideas, things I wish would happen, my gratitude towards the Lord, etc. etc.
Read the bible more often
I am trying to read the bible as much as possible. My church is even having a bible study that we are doing. We have made the goal that we are going to read a book in the bible each month. I did 2 months out of the year but then I fell off of it. I do plan on reading this months bible book, Romans.
I remember last year when I started to read the bible, my goal was to read the whole bible by the end of the year. I was going to start in Genesis and end up in revelation. However, obviously that plan didn’t work.
I think that if someone were to do something like that, then they would have to have already been a committed Christian. That kind of challenge is really difficult! I read through the entire book of Genesis and then I gave up. I just didn’t have it in me to do it.
However, the Lord has given me a more practical approach at reading his word, through my church! My Church’s reading plan is so beneficial to me and I love it. Thank you Church!
Go to church more often
I am doing my best to wake up on time to go to church. I am doing my best! I don’t want to miss church, but I wake up so late because I feel like it’s not that big of a deal. I do want to go to church because I know that it is good for me. I don’t know, I hope that the Lord will give me strength to get up in the mornings so that I may go to church and be with God for a few hours!
A few months ago, I thought that I had kicked the habit of not going to church because I had started to go to church! However, I kept on sleeping in and sleeping in and I just didn’t keep up with the commitments.
Write in my spiritual journal a lot more
I wish to write in my spiritual journal a lot because that is a way that I show my commitment to God. I wish that my journal would develop just as much as my commitment to God because both of them will correlate with each other.
I remember when I first started my journal, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I kept on focusing on the fact that I wanted to be close to God though and sure enough, God will be with me!
Thank you all for listening in on this blog post. I hope that I have been an encouragement and inspiration to you guys. Please pray, read your bible, go to church, and love God above all else. Like, comment, share, and subscribe and I will see you all next time. German Gonzalez, signing out!
