New Year’s Resolutions? Or are you the person who stops before the New Year even begins for fear of failure and no real change? Like the wise person once said (anyone know who originated this saying?) “if you fail to set a goal you’ll miss it every time” . . .
I must say that I’m not crazy about writing things publicly. Ironic, I know, since I have a blog. BUT, here is goes and if I happen to develop short term memory loss, forgetting what goals I’m working towards this year, I can always look back here because it will forever be on the web, right?! Scary.




1. “Kindness is Christianity with working clothes on.” – author unknown

2. “If my life is broken when given to Jesus, it is because pieces will feed a multitude, while a loaf will satisfy only a little lad.” – Ruth Stull

3. “A man who governs his passions is master of the world. We must either command them, or be enslaved by them. It is better to be a hammer than an anvil.” – St. Dominic

4. “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” – Jim Elliot

5. “Run a marathon.” – me







So, realistically, only 1 of these goals can be reached to the point of completion this year. That would be #5 – with the help of my hubby I suppose. The others are goals/attributes of my Christian walk that I feel could use some improving. Yet, as you know you never reach “completion” in Christ until you stand before him face to face – perfect in Him. Looking forward to that day!
