In less than 2 hours as I write this, we will be welcoming in a New Year. It's the final year of this decade I guess we call the "teens" or whatever we call it. So many people are making their New Years resolutions. Losing weight, exercise, paying off debts are just a few. I myself don't like to call them resolutions but goals I set. In 2013, in my previous blog, I said I wanted to run in a 5K, learn how to cook and teach myself to play the guitar. Since then I hurt my back so the 5K is out, I bought a guitar 2 years later and it's collecting dust begging me to strum it and I had no choice but to learn how to cook now that I am on my own. This year I have 3 goals I have set!
1. I want to discipline myself to exercise more. Get to the gym, ride my bike and take better care of this body God gave me. Being in shape is amazing. When you walk up your staircase and you are out of breath, that's not a good thing. Eating healthier is also part of this goal!
2. I want to set a goal where I do a "Random act of kindness" at least once a week. Working in a public setting, you meet all types of people. You meet some of the happiest but you also meet some grumpy. I want to show kindness in all kinds of creative ways this year!
3. I want to stay close to Jesus by reading His word, praying each day and sharing my faith. My relationship to Him is so important and I want to continue to strive to live for Him the best I can.
In closing, sometimes these resolutions can become a revolution or a war. Sometimes your body doesn't want to exercise, or wake up early and read the bible or even show kindness to a total stranger. Last year my exercise goal faded in June after my second kidney stone battle. This coming New Year, I pray I will be blogging on December 31, 2019 saying proudly that I reached each goal to the best of my ability. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. May God bless you in the coming year!!
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!! OKAY...NEXT WEEK!!
