These are my goals for this upcoming 2012 year:
- Grow closer to God.
With this I mean in every way. I don’t want to feel distance because I know that the only distance there ever is, is because of myself. God is always there, so why should I be the reason that I can’t get closer to Him? Also I’m going to be reading the Word more often as well. I would like to be logical with this, so I want to make it something I do at least 4-5 times a week, and hopefully be able to progress to everyday. Prayer. Prayer is something that is so vital and important and I used to be so good about making sure I prayed everyday and even multiple times a day. I have just noticed myself slipping a little bit in that area in the past month and a half and I really need to quit making excuses. Also with prayer, I need to pray more than I ever have for the Christian club I lead at my school. The numbers keep dwindling and the absolute least I could be doing is praying for the club.
More Him, less me.
I am second. God is first. - Lose weight. Not for anyone else, but myself. I’d like to lose 25 lbs. by the last day of school. No more messing around.
- Be a better older sister.
- Go up to at least one person every few weeks and introduce myself to them.
Stop walking past people eating lunch by themselves and actually sit down with them/ask if I can eat lunch with them.
^ I am so serious about this one, because it honestly kills me inside when I know that I could be taking a moment to talk to someone/introduce myself to someone who is all by themselves eating lunch. I hate walking past people like that and I think everyone deserves to have someone sit next to them during each meal. :)
I know this sounds like a monstrous amount, but I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me, so why not?
