Every year I'm apart of the large group of people that sticks to their new year's resolutions for a month or two, only to wind up giving it up. This year however, I have came up with some resolutions that are so important to me that I have no choice but to continue with them throughout 2013 and beyond.
The first one is to become more involved at church. I attended a Christmas service at Grace and I recommitted my life to Christ. When I look at my past life I see how completely lost I was, wondering around like a wounded puppy. But Jesus took me into His arms, wrapped me in His love, and healed my aching wounds. But my new life is here and it feels so wonderful to be walking with Him beside me everyday (even though He was always there with me, I just ignored Him). Thank You Lord for showing me that You are the Way, the Truth, and the Light.
My second resolution is to become a better wife to my husband and a better mother to my son. The are the two most important people in my life and I want to be the best "Londyn" I can be to them.
Thirdly, I want to adopt a more healthy lifestyle. I know I'm not about to go run a 5k or stop eating burgers at Sonic. But I want to feel better! I'm tired of being out of breath walking up the stairs to my apartment! I need to drink more water, eat LESS burgers, and go for a walk. It starts with little changes.
Last but not least, I want to stop renting and finally buy our house! I'm claiming it, 2013 is The Year of The Garcias!
With God's help, your prayers, and some determination on my part, these resolutions can be accomplished. Fingers crossed!
I was looking at my post for my 2012 Resolutions and only kept those up for a few months and that was it. But I was listening to KSBJ one day and they said sometimes we create resolutions without seeking God's counsel and make ones we think we need improvement and while some aren't bad changes they necessarily aren't the ones God has in mind for us. So while we look on our past year and past resolutions to create new ones ultimately we should seek God in order to glorify Him in all we do and not glorify ourselves.
