As the new year rolls around, many people make resolutions. I am no different but I want to make changes that are realistic and beneficial! So, I am not really saying they are resolutions, just things that I am wanting to change!!! This list will probably change too! I have one friend, who adopts a word for the year. I am not sure what all that entails for her...but, I like the idea. As I read what her word was, I was struck that I too might like to choose a word for the year....so here it is . DISCIPLINE.
This word has a negative connotation often but really, it is a good word and good for me to focus on. I am trying to be disciplined in being in the Word every day.....even if it is for 10 min, it is my life breath and it is a joy! I also am trying to be more disciplined with my eating. I have lost a little weight and would like to press on to lose a little more and keep it off! I also want to be disciplined in my discipline of my kids. I want to discipline myself to finish a few projects that I have started. I want to discipline myself to be a better friend. I am always excited to see what the new year will bring, I love an adventure! I also want to be disciplined to finish reading 2 books that I have started. Both good and edifying books so it should not be hard .....the discipline comes in because I just need to put my computer down and pick up the book and also I need to not let the books take the place of real fellowship in the Word.
I am blessed. 2012 was not easy but it was not hard either. I have many friends and family who faced hardships in the last year and I am so thankful that I have seen God sustain them. I am encouraged by the thought of "newness" so, welcome 2013 and may I be found faithful and disciplined!
