I’ve thought about writing and have just not done it.
I finished my graduate degree. I finished my semester at school. I enjoyed a week in PA over Christmas visiting my parents. I enjoyed a week at home over New Years. Soon it will be back at the routine of life.
How is 2011 going to be different for me than 2010? I really don’t know. I am hoping and praying that we sell our property on St Simons Island. That is the only thing standing between us and our plans to move. I am hoping and praying that my daughter will finish her junior year strong and make her decision on a college major and a school. We will be preparing our home to be put up for sale in about a year. So, lots of “big” changes coming up for us as a family.
New Years is a common time for people to think about change. As I am sitting here today I am thinking about things I need to improve. Some of those are “no brainers.” I need to improve my fitness level. Now that my foot is getting better, I need to start a walking regimen.
I need to improve how I spend my free time. I have stacks of books that I’d like to read. Now that I am finished with grad school I have time to read.
I need to continue to work on quality time with God. I think this will remain on my list for years to come. Not just time but quality time. I need to set aside time when I am alert. Too many times my time with God is when I am exhausted. When I have nothing left to give to anyone else, that’s when I sit down and pick up my Bible. Isn’t God worth more than that?
What about you? What are you resolving to change in your life this next year?
One thing I intend to do in the next day or so is to set specific goals in how I am going to accomplish these resolutions. Without a specific plan, these are just words.
“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14
