We are well into a new year, unfortunately most people I've talked to have already failed one of their New Years Resolutions. The most successful people are those who didn't make any. I have several on my list for the year...ask me about them & I'd love to tell you. It's my favorite kind of surprise accountability.
I describe the start of 2011 as : A plethora of emotions : anticipation, utopia, uncertainty.
I just realized the month is half gone and i haven't blogged once. Part of that is the aloofness that comes from gettin engaged, another factor was the 8-5 Theology class that I took this last week. When you aquire 3 units of college credit in a single week, you definitely know it. We finally got internet at our new apartment today so I promise to be better!
What's going to be the IT FACTOR in my life this year? I'll be planning the biggest celebration of my life (my wedding), finishing school, joining the illusive job search, moving in/out, & taking a few trips along the way. The whole time, struggling to keep the first thing first (Jesus Christ) on my checklist of shifting priorities.Most of this world I'm in right now and the things I'm going through will be gone when 2012 arrives. The apartment empty, the wedding over, a college degree in hand....one thing remains. My reason for living, an anchor for the storms, my Savior Jesus Christ. What if I shuffle my relationship with Him to the bottom of the pile during this busy year? Will I reach 2012 and be shocked at how little I have learned about my God? One thing i know, it won't be Him who steps away. That's on me. && I know that He will lovingly welcome me back & forgive me for my foolish wanderings, but I know the magnitude of what is lost in wasting a precious year .
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.
