Resolutions
Well, it is time for the annual New Year's resolutions to begin spilling from our mouths, our hearts, and yes, the yearnings of our spirits. Let me list mine. They are not listed in order of priority. I need to lose about 35 pounds, continue to increase my walking, spend more time with the family, read more books, be more frugal with the finances God blesses me with, practice a bit more patience, (especially with two teenagers I know) and schedule time alone in prayer and bible study.
I really feel better now that I have listed my resolutions. Now, comes the hard part and that is to not allow other competing interests to crowd these very imporatnt resolutions out. I will begin by placing them on my schedule and not allowing them to be afterthoughts. Now let me see where I can fit these in... :)
In all honesty folks, most of the resolutions we make need to be followed through on and believe me I have good news for you , WE CAN DO IT, especially if we remember that we are not alone but that we have a parent who cares, the Holy Spirit to empower us, and Jesus to walk beside us.
Hey, have a blessed, prosperous, and disciplined New Year. I plan to.
