It's almost 2009...Crazy!!

I can't believe that 2009 will be here in just a few short hours. Last year I made the decision to not make any resolutions...I didn't want to set myself up for failure. I couldn't take that at that point in time. This year...tonight...I am making some goals..not resolutions but just things I want to accomplish this year. If I don't get them done, that's OK. But I'm going to try.

- Journal more often. While I consider my blog to be like a journal, it's not the same as journaling in my own handwriting and with just my eyes reading the words on the page. Since I have begun to wear my blue bracelet to remind myself to talk to God everyday, I have found that when I journal my thoughts and prayers it helps my frame of mind.

- Be more outgoing in making friends and keeping friendships. I tend to gravitate towards just a few people at certain times. While I don't think that will change, I do need to increase my circle of friends...friends my own age and at my stage in life.

- A house? Maybe

- Trust God everyday, with the little things and the big things. Be OK with the amount of trust I do have in God, but always strive for a deeper relationship with Him. I wonder if I can get to where I spend time with Him everyday without having nervous feelings?

- Take better care of myself. Get more rest and exercise more. I need to eat healthier by making better choices about what I eat.

- Don't be scared to try new things and step out of my comfort zone in my personal life and in my ministry.

So I guess that's it for my goals for 2009. I'm going to try my best and accomplish these things. I think the most important is to continue to work on my relationship with my Father and in the process I think the other things will come eventually.

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed 2009! Thank you for another year of reading and walking with me on this journey.
