one girl's resolutions

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I'm not a big fan of making resolutions, so I call them goals. Here are my goals for this year...

• Read through the Bible by the end of the year.
• Spend time with God every day, which to me translates to journal, read and answer questions about a devotional (Our Journey, to be exact), and pray. I must admit that over the past couple months I have been extremely lax in doing this normally daily routine. Something about November and December does that to me. Not good.
• Memorize some Bible verses. Not sure how many or which ones yet, but I have several lists of possibilities.
• Learn Dutch for my hopeful trip to Amsterdam in late August/early September
• Finish a series of short stories that I've been working on for years. Then I want to revise them again and have people actually read them.
• Meet with my mentor Rose once a month. I tend to make that not a priority.
• Exercise. No specific goals, no weight to be lost, but I have been utterly inactive except for hockey since the summer. Ucky.

How will I make sure I do any of these things? I'm aiming to make a commitment to accountability with one of the girls in my small group as part of our proposed monthly girl meetings.

That's the plan! We'll see what happens. Happy 2006, everyone!
