It’s a New year….I think I’ll try some things different

In years past I have thought myself to be pretty spectacular ending the year and therefore saw no need To resolve to do anything much different in the new year. Let’s be honest, I have probably been too prideful too to realize there were some things that could have used fixin. But this year is different. Completely.
What a year 2k5 was. Youll have to buy the book if you ever want the full scoop but that is only if I decide to ever rehash it – it was that…..trying….challenging…..shaping….to not really want to go there again.
All I know is this year I am enabling myself (though this is somewhat a lie because it really has nothing to do with me) to do bigger and better things and to build from what I took from this year. Here are some of the things I will take:
-Coloring on a Friday night is just fine and is cheap therapy
-Chocolate chip cookies in excess go straight to the butt
-There is no exercise like running and when you can’t do it it is torture.
-Working hard and working smart are 2 totally different things and one will kill you and lead to burn out.
-Commission sales is where I need to stay if I want to continue to travel and do missions as much as I would like
-10 lbs comes fast and out of nowhere
-Some friends can be brand new friends but they hold you up and invest in you like you’ve been there since grade school
-Routines and good habits are much easier to break than to build
-Quiet time with God in the morning is the ONLY true way to start the day right
-Having family close is invaluable
-God gives anyone a second chance (and a third and fourth…)-
-Good music is the key to my heart
-I don't want to want anything that will take away from me experiencing the fullness of God


Okay, confession, so I wrote this a few days ago while at Passion and saved it to be continued and then posted. It is now being posted without being reread. Next post titled: The year for which I am most thankful.
I am so excited to get these newthoughts on paper! I can hardly contain myself. Hold tight....

Talk to you soon.
