New Years Resolutions

It's February 4th. Which means that we're already into the second month of 2013 and that it's already been over a month since the end of the last year. The end of a year often inspires people to make resolutions, to change things in the new year, try new things, make their lives better. Did you know that the number one resolution is to join the gym and lose weight?

What (if anything) did you resolve for this year? How are you doing with that?

Here's a couple of things I wanted to do this year...

1) Find a new church. There was nothing wrong with my old one, but I also felt a pull to try something new
2) Try and help a good friend of mine. She's been having a rough time lately so I'm going to try and help her through. And if I can't make it any better, I can still be there for her
3) Go overseas (again!) I'm going to Fiji soon!
4) Actually make use of the many delicious recipes I have in my many cookbooks, try new things! And get yummies along the way :-) 
5) Be more grateful for the people in my life, the things that I have and the life that I am given


So far, so good.

Resolutions are not something that have to be restricted to New Years.  God doesn't restrict change to a small window each year. Yet another one of the many awesome things about Him. Of the five things I've listed above, three are things I don't think I can do without God. The other two are probably opportunities (I'm not entirely sure how, but we'll wait and see!)

If you want to try something, change something, meet new people then don't wait. Life is an adventure and you have the best travelling companion one could hope for. Who knows, you might just change your life and someone elses
