Wow! I've just read a great post from Michael Hyatt, CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishing. He's a blogger I regularly read. Here's the link.
Read the post and then tell me, how about you? Can you live in the space between the stimulus and the response? I'm working on this one, too.

Key Item I'm Working On
A key item I'm working on in my life is to have the courage to trust God. I know He's faithful and true, but sometimes my doubts creep in and I trust myself instead, and end up regretting it as I crash and burn.
I read these verses this morning - "To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. I trust in you, my God! Lead my by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you." Psalm 25:1,8
I can put my trust and hope in God. He leads me by His truth and teaches me, and He is the One who saves me. I'm trying to re-train certain thought pathways in my brain to think these thoughts first instead of doubting. I think I'd better memorize them and meditate on them!

Here we Go!
2011 is off to a great start! I'm still writing 2010 on some things, but hopefully that will pass in a few weeks. We have some great service opportunities to start off this year - serving our refugee communities in the park on Monday, January 11; and then a "mini" Serve Sunnyslope on January 22. Click here to go to our website to see more information about these opportunities.
We have several Winter Camps coming up for HS, JH, and elementary ages. These are great opportunities for growth for your kids - make sure they're signed up here.
Our next First Steps class is on January 23rd, and we've completely revamped our material. If you're new to FCC or even if you've been here awhile but want a refresher course, I'd love to see you there. Click here to sign up.
My youngest son and I will be travelling to Missouri later this week for my Dad's 80th birthday. All my siblings will be there, and I know we'll have a great time celebrating with Dad. He is one of my heroes and has been a great role model to me. I'm so glad I get to join him and the rest of my family for this great occasion.
I've been working on establishing some personal goals for this year. Not resolutions, but goals. I spoke about this idea of goals vs. resolutions on January 2nd. You can click here to launch the media player, and go to the January 2 message to listen. I'm retraining some negative pathways in my brain to discipline myself to accomplish great things this year. What about you? Any big goals for the year? Let me know!
