Our life has a purpose. When God created each one of us He had a plan in mind and a mission for us to accomplish. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. God wants us to be hopeful, to trust Him and to do our best to accomplish His plans for us. As we place our trust in Him & come closer to Him our purpose will become clearer and He will be better able to guide us toward becoming who He desires us to become. ❤️
When we keep that hope in our lives we are better able to move toward our ultimate goal, which is to live a life that we can be proud of. A life that is filled with good & that God will approve of. Ultimately, we are all here to PREPARE TO MEET GOD. So, our goal is to stay focused on trying to live the best life we can for God, for ourselves & for those around us.
Having hope and faith in God brings us the power to act. We know that we can’t just wish for things to happen and that’s it. When we have faith in God we gain a stronger desire to ACT! we’re more willing to put in the work necessary toward reaching who we are meant to be. God said; “Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in Faith believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be done unto you.” (Moroni 7:26)
God is ready to bless us if we have a pure heart, if we seek Him & Ask Him, BELIEVING that we will receive. How amazing is that? This is where our faith is tested & where God is able to show Himself in our lives. Christ said; “If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.” (Moroni 7:33) That scripture promises us that we will have power through our faith to accomplish the desires of our heart that align with the desire that God has for us. So, with our Faith in God, we’re better able to see more clearly which goals we should focus on.
We can go to God & from Him receive wisdom and power to accomplish those things. We can then Act toward our goals taking the daily action to move closer to our goals. God will help us achieve our physical, spiritual, emotional or temporal goals. He knows what’s in our hearts and because He loves us and wants the best for us, HE WILL HELP US. TRUST IN HIM AND IN YOUR ABILITY TO DO THIS FOR YOURSELF. ❤️
Having faith allows us to act as if our goals are on their way. 😉 that belief and trust in God and in ourselves that we will make our goals possible with his help, will happen bring motivation. We can ask for daily wisdom to know what to focus on for this day, and we can move forward toward accomplishing that goal. Remember to start out with smaller goals that lead to the bigger goals. The more that we’re able to accomplish the small things the more momentum we will have to accomplish the bigger things. Practice seeing yourself accomplishing your daily goals. Visualize yourself doing it and having Gods help to achieve what is in your heart. feel yourself getting Healthier, stronger, becoming more peaceful, accomplished etc. ❤️
When you have those days when notice yourself comparing where you are to where you want to be, focus on this one question: “What single, small decision can I make right now to move forward in my process of becoming? Write down your thoughts and feelings and be aware of what comes to your mind. That’s one way you can know which action to take. Also, there may be times when we feel like giving up on our goals because we slipped or made a mistake. But remember to be kind to yourself, Don’t give up. Just take a moment to evaluate what led to the mistake and wether your process should be modified to help prevent it from happening in the future. If you know your goals are worth working toward you will keep trusting and moving forward with faith in God.
Finally, Remember that rather than focusing solely on the outcome of the goal, put your energy into the process of becoming. In a process, every moment is important. You can enjoy feelings of small daily successes. You can learn from setbacks, rather than treating them as signs of failure. In a process of becoming you can find joy in each moment, you can be grateful for the opportunity to be a work in progress. You trust that as long as you are working the process, which is an essential part of exercising faith in God, reaching your goal will be the natural outcome.
So, make it a point today to re-evaluate your goals! Think about what you’re working toward and what God wants you to place as your top priorities. Align yourself to that knowledge and that desire to work toward the things which are important. Make a plan, start small, visualize and give yourself grace and the motivation that you need to accomplish each thing. If we want something we just work toward it. Make it a pleasure to work on yourself and on your journey of becoming. Find joy in this journey and move forward trusting and having faith in God and in yourself. ❤️
With God all things are possible! You can do it! Count on Him, do your best & go for it. ❤️ HOPE, ACT & BECOME.

Dear Lili
I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. I spent it with my daughter and her boyfriend. We had a wonderful time. I was so worried about driving to her and meeting her boyfriend for the first time. But all that worried was not worth it cause everything turned out just awesome. I personally haven’t set any goals for myself but when something comes up I try to handle it and know and feel that I am not alone. That God has his way of working with me to get thru whatever I have on my mind that won’t let me give me peace until it gets done. He knows what’s in my mind and heart how I pray for myself and family and friends and others. He knows what I can handle and can’t. The peace of mind he gives me no one can give me. I think and worry about my kids even though they are adults and they can take care of themselves. My goal is to stop worrying so much to leave it up to God. Cause I know he takes care of everything. As to my personal goals is to be the mother and grandmother God wants me to be. To serve God in that manner and to serve others who need and want me. I am slowly realizing that I am someone God created me to learn thu my mistakes and sins I have committed to become the person he wants me to be. With his help and love I am seeing these things in my life. I am God’s child and I love him for that.
God bless
Love Margie
