i am resolved...

i’ve never been one for new year’s resolutions. you always see people set outrageous goals.
everyone knows it’s not going to happen.
so do i. so do you.
and yet for some reason this year…well i made a list.


i’ve tried to make them quite obtainable, and realistic..
————————————————————————
hello, 2008. we should be friends.

  • find that true purpose that has been so elusive for way too long.
  • find a project to plan and organize.
  • plan to go on a REAL vacation.
  • seek out mission trip opportunities.
  • get out debt - finally, completely
  • work out more.
  • drink more water.
  • start that consignment sale that i've wanted to do for many years.
  • walk more.
  • worship more, with total abandonment.
  • read the new testament.
  • pray more.
  • while in conversation, don’t just wait for your turn to talk. listen. use the phrase "tell me" more far more often.
  • kneel more. bow more. value reverence. remember that you’re very, very small.
  • seek humility.
  • live on less. save more.
  • be happy, really happy.
  • be honest with God. very honest. He’ll like that.
