New Year's Resolutions

Here they are. Our pastor's sermon yesterday touched on New Year's Resolutions and it hit me pretty hard that most of my Resolutions do not include any spiritual changes at all. And though I never keep my Resolutions...this year, maybe, could be different. So I am publicly proclaiming my goals here:

1. To grow my spiritual life. I want to move forward and to not dwell on my past.
(More on this later)

2. Run everyday!

3. Unrevealed. This one is too personal to reveal on here, but Rob knows what this is and hopefully he will be able to hold me accountable for this. (And lots of prayer)

So, there they are. Each one of these I believe will help me in my daily activities, I really believe I want to move towards more of a Proverbs 31 woman, and this is my start.

My one confession about these goals is that I do think about Resolutions every New Year, but have never followed through with them. Rob and I discussed this yesterday, stating that he never makes them due to the reason that he would fail and does not want to be a failure. Me on the other hand, I obviously fail a lot. Here I am making, three new Resolutions only to know that I am going to fail. I find this a little troubling, but then I look at my life and realize that I have failed in almost every area of my life. So, this takes me back to Resolution #1...I no longer want to dwell on my past, whether is was 30 years ago or yesterday, I want to move forward.

If you do not set goals (or in this case 'resolutions') you cannot fail. If you never fail, you cannot learn. If you do not learn, you cannot grow or teach. It is by growing and teaching that we become more like Christ. Therefore, you are not failing, you are learning and growing. Hugs!
