New Year’s Resolutions

Every year many of us ring in the upcoming year with a list of resolutions. It always seemed a little hokey, making a promise to do something one needs to do anyway such as get fit, clean out closets and finish projects. What if the resolution was more than just a “To Do” list? What if not only the behavior changed but the vision? Rather than solutions to improving  my own life, there was a new vision in how I can be used by God.

How about…

drawing closer to God in prayer?

using quiet time to actually be quiet and listen?

tithing time and talents, not just money?

spending time with those in need?

turning off my phone and computer more often to focus on family and friends?

creating more margin for all of us, an even less cluttered family calendar?

Instead of just a “To Do” list each day, add a “To Be” list. How can I be the person the Lord has called me to be to everyone I cross paths with daily? Who needs me to be present? Who needs me to listen? How can I be more patient, forgiving, understanding, …? And the list goes on and on.

A new year, a time for new beginnings. My prayer is to be the best I can be for the glory of God. What’s your new “To Be” vision for 2014?

Happy New Year! May God bless you and yours abundantly in 2014!
