Goal setting: how to target God’s will and achieve victory

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

Ten years ago I thought it was impossible to achieve victory in goal setting.  You see, I experienced a giant slump in my spiritual life.  I could have been the “Christian Failure” poster child.  Oh, I didn’t look that way on the outside.

But on the inside?

My heart was in turmoil.  Swirling thoughts inside my brain rang of doubt and failure.

I was on a downward path, walking a thin, grey line between truth and deceit.

But today, I can confidently say I’m nowhere near that path.  I’ve tasted the mercies of a good, good Father, and in the words of Psalm 118:5b, “The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place”.

Daily, I walk in the confidence of the Holy Spirit, renewing my mind; living victoriously through Christ.

Daily, God directs my choices and shows me exactly what to do, even in the smallest instances.

I am confident about my decision making and I know beyond a doubt that I am and can accomplish what He wants for me each day.

And not only that – I sense His presence as never before.  

Do you know how I got from that low slump to the path of victory?

How I learned to achieve victory

I reached an all-time low.  The crossroads between darkness and light loomed ahead and I could no longer walk the grey line.  There was no other alternative but to make a decision and stick with it.  Here’s what I did:

1.)  I submitted my will to God’s

2.)  I read the Word daily

3.)  I became accountable to others

4.)  I practiced living “forgiven”

5.)  I thought truth, prayed truth, read truth, and spoke truth

6.)  I ran all choices past Him

7.)  I let God use me to minister to others

Time passed, my kids began leaving home, and I experienced grief in the empty nesting phase.  As I sought God’s direction for how to fill my time, He lead me to this book by John Ortberg called, All the places to go.

Through reading that book, I realized God’s nudge towards writing – for other people to actually read (and not just my own diary musings).  As I took baby steps and pushed through doors, I became more confident.  I sensed God’s direction as never before!

Dear mom – there is no substitute for confidently walking in God’s will.  The inner joy is unsurpassed!

Blogging became a way of life as God directed my steps.  I prayed the prayer of Jabez, asking Him to enlarge my territory.

And then, I discovered Grace Goals.

A better way for goal setting

Goal setting is a huge passion of mine!  I get all giddy come January with a fresh year and new goals.  But choosing to set my goals according to God’s amazing direction through Grace Goals took me to a whole new level.

Through Grace Goals, I tackled an issue I’d struggled with for years – anger and irritation.  Flare-ups and annoyances.  God lead me so directly that I wrote my first book.

It was on anger.  And it was GOOD.

Word started getting out and before I knew it, I’d established a substantial support group for angry moms.  The group grew and flourished, and I realized my calling for this season in life.

It was mentoring moms!

Of course!  It made perfect sense.  Motherhood – my biggest passion – was not to die in the empty nesting season.  I was to share that passion, and how to do it successfully, with other moms!

The vision continues – I wrote a second book, released a mom devotional app with some amazing ladies, and recently began one-on-one online coaching!

All because I said yes at that crossroads years ago.

Saying yes lead me to successful goal setting resulting in subsequent victories.  And Grace Goals is largely a part of my success!

Grace Goals first launched in 2015 and it was fantastic.  But with the relaunch, Grace Goals offers even more value than before!
