I don’t usually make resolutions because I just don’t seem to keep them. But, this year I am making some. I guess it’s partly because after the busy-ness of the holidays, I’m so ready to have a more disciplined routine and do some things I haven’t had time to do. Another reason is that God has been dealing with my heart in some areas, so I need to make some commitments. Also, some of the resolutions I’ve made are already “cooling off” So, I’m going to blog about them and see if that increases my motivation and renews my commitment.
The first one I already wrote about… I want to de-clutter a bunch of corners of my house. It’s not really a “spiritual” thing to do, but it sure makes me feel all happy and good inside when I bring order out of chaos and get rid of stuff that’s been sitting around waiting for that “some day” when I’ll want it. So, what I want to do for a month or two is spend about 15 minutes most days cleaning and de-cluttering. I did good for a week, but this past week I got “too busy”. Humph!! Gotta prioritize my time!!
The second one is I want to spend at least 15 minutes a day reading (besides Bible reading). Maybe that doesn’t sound like a big accomplishment to some, but for me it is. There are so many great books I want to read and I seldom take the time to do it. I should make a resolution to finish the books I’ve already started (I can think of at least three right off the bat), but I’m not sure I want to do that. :-) Because of this commitment, I read (and finished!) the book, “A Revival Primer” by Dale Schlafer. It is really good! God is moving my heart to desire and long for and pray for revival – in myself, my family, my church, my community. More on that and more about resolutions later…
