pressing on...

phillippians 3:13-14
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

as i settle into the new year, this verse popped into mind. yeah, it's a bit cliche for the first of the year, or anytime something new starts, but it is cliche for a reason- it fits.

so here are my new goals for 2008.

hope house:

~that we start a regular prayer time as a house
~renovations in the living/dining room (lay a floor mostly) and redo the main kitchen, solve the wet walls and drippy ceilings problem
~find out about possibility of buying the house
~take in at least 4 people for vision purposes, in addition to the other guests.
~start the organization
~find sponsors specifically for the house

personally:

~to make a full length documentary about the szene for festivals
~to attain and maintain physical health
~to preach more often
~start a theology masters degree
~avoid burn-out by getting out of town for at least one day a month, and at least one weekend every three, and at least one week every six- NOT related to ministry in any way.
~that the thing spoken over me by the fijian team come to pass. (hey, every year needs one cryptic one, right?)

and of course, not for me, but... that hans will finally manage to get clean.
