Resolutions for 2010

Sunday, January 3, 2010

  • To stop being so fearful of confessing my shortcomings, weaknesses, and sins to others, especially those closest to me.
“But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” -- 2 Corinthians 12:9, 10

  • To not emphasize my inabilities, but instead be thankful for the gifts I've been given.
"Yet how wistfully we look at another's gift and wish we could do that. How pitiably we say to ourselves, "If only I had his brains" (or faith, or energy, or voice, or courage, or looks, or executive talents). We were never meant to have it. God saw what He wanted to do, and He equipped each of us accordingly, and woe to us if we spend our time fruitlessly wishing we were eyes when we were made hands. " - Elizabeth Elliot, The Liberty of Obedience

  • To do what is right - not what is easiest, not the path of least resistance
  • To trust entirely that God is completely in control of this, not me. To not be fearful of disappointment.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed - Psalm 139:16
  • To be a better steward of my time. Seriously.
  • Keep my room clean
