Well, it's here! It is now 2011! It's so weird to think that it's already 2011! So many things are happening this year and I'm just stoked to get excited! I'm transferring in the fall (Woo hoo SAU!), going to South Africa in June, turning 20 and then just add in the normal fun things of a typical year.
But heres a thought, or several, on New Years resolutions. I used to never make them because I knew they'd just become goals that would never be accomplished. But this year I did make resolutions but they aren't your typical resolutions. Read more books, love more, give away more, keep less, be less self-absorbed, abandon self and seek God above all. Thats about it! I feel like God is really going to use this next year in my life! I don't know what He has planned but I know it's something great! But yet, why do we wait until New Years to make an effort to better our lives? I feel like as a child of God, I should be constantly spotting flaws in my own self, finding areas that I'm less than adequate and using those findings to better myself. Not through anything I do, but through seeking God! He's holding everything in His hands and is just revealing it little by little in His own time. So, what He chooses to show next, I'm so ready!
This year, I choose to live my life in a way that will benefit others before myself. My life will give before I take. I'll love and have a heart of compassion towards others. Pretty much, I choose to live my life in such a way that I will change the world!
Now go and live 2011 to the fullest!
