Good morning, and welcome to 2013! I hope your 2013 is filled with love and happiness, and that all of your hopes and dreams are fulfilled.
With it being the official day every one makes all these resolutions that they quickly fail (on average by around January 24th I once read), I’m going to list my own resolutions here. I expect my family of 3 readers to keep me accountable. 🙂
Ok, without further ado:
1. I will run 1000 miles this year. That’s roughly 20 miles a week. I’ve never done that in one week, but I’m getting there. I am concerned my knees and ankles won’t hold up for this, as they are terrible.
2. I will not be content with just occasionally attending church. I don’t even remember the last time I went, even. Been at least 9 weeks.
3. I will read the entire Old Testament. Something I have always shied away from because prophecy is both hard and sometimes scary. This won’t be done in order; starting in Isaiah right now.
4. I will take a legit vacation this year. Most likely to the west coast. Still want to do Greece but I don’t see that happening.
5. I will blog at least once a week.
6. I will do a better job of keeping in touch with friends back home.
7. I will genuinely let a situation that often brings me down go.
8. I’ll write 5 days a week, and even post some of the fruits. 🙂
9. I’ll enter at least one writing contest.
10. School? Maybe? Fall? (I totally failed at this last time I resolved it).
11. I will gain 20 pounds of muscle. I think this is doable. Since joining a gym, I have put on some.
12. I will not be late to work. (Hahahahahahhahaahhaahhahhahahaahahhahahahahahahh)
Ok, I think this is all. Love you guys. HELP KEEP ME ACCOUNTABLE.
I’ll pester you about #2 fo’ shizzle. 🙂 For a long time, I wasn’t as concerned with going to church because I was convinced that I could worship just as good by myself. I have since been shown otherwise, but I really, genuinely enjoy going to my church. I love all the people that I have gotten to know, and I love how refreshed I feel after going.
Dude. These are great, all of them. I think my favorite is the Old Testament one. I’ve only done that once, though I agree Isaiah is the place to start. Get through it while you’ve got the motivation.
Good luck!!!
