I have a lot of resolutions for 2012. I love resolutions, goals, list and any other form of planning! I don't even mind not succeeding at all of them. I just love trying! The way I see it, if I try I can only do better than the year before, even if I don't mark it off.
Three of my resolutions are going to be really fun! I can't go wrong with them.
Love better...love every one regardless of their response to me, love abundantly, love unselfishly, love in a way that points people to God
Be gentler....I want my voice, my demeanour and my expressions to be gentle so that I may represent Christ better
Make my home a haven for my husband and kids...I want the sounds, the smells and the scenery to be inviting and relaxing...my first 2 resolutions will help with this one also ;) This ministry is my primary calling and it comes above all outside of my home
I decided to start my 2012 goals by offering my husband a gift. A simple gift. This gift touched him more than any material item we exchanged for Christmas.
A vow from me to him.
Excuse the poor handwriting and spelling. This letter was written on a whelm. The vows were thought out carefully but the letter was unexpected. I finished it up with a little spray from my favorite perfume (like I do all my letters).
I figured what better way to begin accomplishing my goals than to put them in writing!
My other goals include:
Eat healthier
Exercise and be more active
Be a harder worker...less laziness
Pray more for my children's future
Pray that my husband gets a need that ONLY God can fill
Memorize one verse per month
Be bolder when Christ calls me to it
My verse of the year remains the same as last year; 2 Corinthians 12: 9-12. I'm still working on mastering the concept that Christ IS my strength when I'm weak and that I just need to LEAN COMPLETELY on Him.
Dear Lord,
Help me to reach all of these goals. Help me to attain the fruit of the spirit, self control, so that I may reach all of these goals. Lord, the goals accomplished will do nothing for me unless they be used to serve YOU. I pray that I serve You this year like never before!!!
In Jesus' name,
Amen!
