My 2012 resolutions

After spending this week praying, searching, and pondering about what my 2012 resolutions should be, I’ve come up with these 2 things.

1.   LIVE more fully what I believe. (spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally) – essentially, “practice what I preach.”

2.   Try to be more like Jesus. Simple as that! The primary song, “I’m trying to be like Jesus,” is my very favorite song, ever. The message is so simple and so perfect, but the spirit of that song is powerful & very impactful. Each day when I wake up, I’ll listen to or sing this song as I’m getting ready for the day. Chessey? Maybe. Will it be incredibly impactful singing this song first thing in the morning so I can think about it throughout the day? Most likely!

"I’m trying to be like Jesus;  I’m following in His ways.

I’m trying to love as He did in all that I do and say.

At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,

But I try to listen as the still, small voice whispers,

'Love one another as Jesus loves you;

Try to show kindness in all that you do.

Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,

For these are the things Jesus taught.”

I’m trying to love my neighbor; I’m learning to serve my friends.

I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.

I try to remember the lessons He taught.

Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts saying,

'Love one another as Jesus loves you;

Try to show kindness in all that you do.

Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,

For these are the things Jesus taught.' "

I hope these resolutions will bring me closer to Christ and help me become the woman He wants me to be AND that I want to be.
