Tomorrow is the first day of the new year. I don’t usually do resolutions, but this year I happen to have some life changes that I have been thinking about the last few days, so I thought I would write them out in my blog as a kind of accountability.
The first one is the obvious one I make every year and will continue to. I want to read through a different Bible translation every year. This year is the NIV. Last year, I hate to admit, was also the NIV and I didn’t finish it. This is the year!
Second, I am going to schedule time alone with God daily. No more letting life get in the way. This will certainly help me with number one, but more importantly, I need to focus my prayer life, too.
Third, I need to start exercising every day. This is not the typical “I need to lose weight” resolution. I do, but that’s not the reason for the resolution. I have three active boys to keep up with. Last summer, toward the end, I started exercising regularly and I could finally keep up with them, sort of. Summer will be here again before I know it and I don’t have a baby anymore as my excuse why I can’t do the activities they want to. Little E can keep up with them better than I can!
The last thing is my writing. I used to freelance write before I started homeschooling and I need to get back into daily writing. The first part is that I want to schedule daily blogging time. The second is that I want to start working on/finishing the books I have ideas for or have already in progress.
Not-So-Crafty Daddy bought me a flash drive for Christmas to keep my writing on so I can use either computer. (He’s so great.)
I hope you all have a happy and prosperous 2007!
Hi Charity,
Good luck with your new years resolutions.
Have you seen those Parallel Bibles that have four different translations all in one Bible? I think I mentioned that on another blog….
I too am hoping to get back into exercise. Combining scripture memory with power walking or treadmill work is great for body and spirit!
