FOCUS 2016

As the New Year starts, I plan to take our preacher's idea/theme for our church and carry it to all areas of my life. In 2016, I plan to FOCUS my attention. I have said so many times in 2015, we need a game plan. We need a focus/action steps. From the sermon on Sunday, I now feel I can create FOCUS in my life. I plan to use this blog as a way to keep up with how everything is going and "stay" FOCUS.

Week of January 3rd - 9th: 
F - Family = Set Up a trust building time with Erik.
O - Others = Help a friend organize her building. (At least setup a time.)
C - Christ  = Create a Plan for the after school program with games/crafts around the Trial & Death of Stephen
U - You = Work on earning Swagbucks to make a purchase and drink more water.
S - Service = Email Encouragement Responses

I like this list format. I feel I get so caught up life's go go go that I don't have a FOCUS. This has made me analyze what is important and why.
