Step #6 is a bit overwhelming, but I have the miracle grow sheet and have also asked God to help me with the assignment (Philippians 4:13).

Hello Dennis. If you are overwhelmed take it easier. We grow is small steps so make the chart attainable. Such as if you never ever read your bible don't expect to sit down and read three chapters a day. Start with taking the time to read a verse a day or get a calendar with verses and read one a day. Then when you achieve this goal add to it another small step. We can't expect to run a marathon with out first practicing.

Ten may be overwhelming. So make some easier such as maybe you drink two pots of coffee every morning and you want to cut back. This could be one of your miracle grow goals. I hate to floss! It makes my mouth hurt all day. But it's important so I put flossing as one of mine. Sounds weird I know. What are your gifts and talents? This is a great opportunity to spend time daily working on them to grow them. Such as a person who is talented in the arts yet never takes time to practice them because of putting other things in the way or perhaps they aren't good enough so they just gave up. This can be on the chart to practice for 15 minutes a day their artsy talent. Maybe you don't know your talent or gift. When you were a little kid what did you most enjoy? My hubby says his was, "Lunch time." And low and behold he is talented in cooking for groups of people. This is his passion.

Anyhow that's just a few thoughts to help stir your thinking.

God bless and keep you. Hope you let us know how the chart is working out.
