I'm not one to jump on the "new year's resolution" bandwagon. It usually just doesn't work for me long term. So, in the past few years I have decided to work on certain character traits throughout the year, that I feel I personally need to work on. I want to be all that God wants me to be, I want to be my best self. It is a constant work in progress, but I pray daily for God to show me what I need to work on.
I'm sharing these goals here in hopes to keep me accountable. This year, my goals are: *Be more patient- Slow down and enjoy each moment, I don't want to rush through things. *Be quiet - By nature, I am a loud person. This year, I am working on being soft spoken and thinking before I speak. *No worry - Well, this will be the hard one! I am a worrier. I worry about EVERYTHING. It causes me great anxiety, and this year I have decided no more will I be chained to my worries. I am building my faith and trying VERY hard to let go of my tendency to worry. (It's Day 8, and I'm struggling greatly, but I am not giving up!) *Choose Joy- This, of course, goes hand in hand with not worrying, but it is also just a daily choice. Each day, I am choosing JOY. No matter what the day brings, bad or good news, I'm going to rejoice, be thankful, and praise God for what He has given me. I have many more struggles, but these are the things I feel I need to change, now. What are your goals for this year? Share them in the comments. "But forget all that - It is nothing compared to what I'm going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland." ~Isaiah 43:18-19 Praying for each of you! Joyfully His, Andrea
