Got PLANS?

What have you placed on the back burner? What were you so passionate about at one point in your life that has now collected dust? It's time to pick it up once again, except this time, commit to finishing it! Maybe you want to complete your degree, start that new business, or simply finish that puzzle you had to buy. Whatever it is, now is the time to check it off your list of things to do.

Life has a way of causing us to change course and get sidetracked. But we can combat this by taking the time to make plans to accomplish our goals. Planning doesn't have to be a laborious chore and it is never time wasted. When you take time to plan, you save time that would otherwise be wasted by repeated failure, missteps, and procrastination. Always remember this acrostic when planning: Prepare, Learn, Apply, Negotiate, and Surrender your plans to God, and He'll make sure you succeed.


"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."

~Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)
