2008 is upon us! A new year to start fresh. A clean slate, with hopes and promises, dreams and resolutions. Every January I think about what I’ve done with my life and what I want to do next. As I’m writing this, it’s dawned on me that this year I will turn 25. How did that happen? Where did I want to be when I was in my mid-twenties — have I achieved it? What kind of woman, mom, wife and friend am I? Where do I want to go from here?
This is a good time of year to reevaluate. I can make changes — start fresh. What do I want to accomplish this year?
My List:
1. Make boundaries with others so that I can have more time with my family
2. Spend quality time alone with both kids
3. Spend more time on hobbies I enjoy
4. Organize my house and keep it that way
It’s a long list and all of the things on it are important to me, but I don’t want to set myself up for failure (again) … is there a better way?
In the Bible it says that Christians are being transformed, “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness” (2 Corinthians 3:18). I may not be where I thought I would be in my mid-twenties, but then again those ideals from the past were created before I knew who God was creating me to be. My list of what I want to accomplish is very important but to be more like God is the ultimate goal, my ultimate resolution.
It takes a lifetime to become who we are intended to be. As I look at resolutions and the New Year I can reflect on how much I have grown and where I need to keep growing to make sure that I am still pointed in the right direction.
