So...I'm still working on my New Year's Resolutions. During church the sermon was talking about studying God's word and memorizing it. That got me to start thinking about my resolutions again. One thing was mentioned about memorizing scripture - hiding God's Word in your heart that you might not sin against God. One of the resolutions I've thought about is doing family devotions again as I had read an idea where your family works on memorizing scripture by saying one word as you go around the table. One thing lead to another and I thought about the word "Create."
My prayer:
Create in me a clean heart and help me to confess my sins more to You so that when I approach your throne I am holy and acceptable to be in Your presence.
Create in me a love for others so that I see them as You do and open my life to them.
Create in me a desire to know You more on a daily basis through prayer and Bible study.
Create opportunities for our family to grow spiritually.
My possible resolutions:
I will create meaningful experiences for my children each month.
I will create a blog that documents our daily life for 2012.
I will create a finished Project 365 scrapbook.
I will create opportunities for my children to write.
I will create toned muscle.
I will create cleaner teeth by flossing on a regular basis.
I will create better relationships with my family by spending time alone with them in the form of dates (both with my children and husband).
So...still brainstorming. I don't like to fail. I know that the best thing is for me to keep my resolutions in front of me all year and mark them off or plan each month what I'm doing to accomplish these things to help keep me on task. I can say I'm doing pretty well with the flossing and blogging! Not so well with the toned muscle.
