How are you doing on your New Year's goals and resolutions? If you're like most people, your January enthusiasm might just be waning as we head toward February.
In this week's episode of "In the Meanwhile," we talk about some recent physical transformations we've both experienced and then move onto a super relevant topic for anyone: intentional goal-keeping for all aspects of life and how that leads to long-lasting transformation.

We've adapted the S.M.A.R.T. acronym to help you breakdown the elements of good goal setting and keeping and look forward to hearing how you have kept your own goals or how you've faced the challenges of keeping your goals.
Above all, we stress the necessity of looking to our Master for His direction and support in all decisions and efforts involved in keeping our goals!
S = Specific. Keep your goals as specific as possible.
M = Measurable. It's difficult to know when goals are met when you can't measure them.
A = Actionable. We share how you can create an action plan that works for you.
R = Risky. Every goal should have an element of risk to encourage you to rely on God's strength rather than your own.
T = Time-Specific. Be sure to give yourself enough time to meet each goal.
