I know I havent written in a LONG time, but I have been busy...kind of. I have been thinking a lot about what I want to acheive in the new year. There are so many things I would like to improve but I had to just pick a few. I tried to pick resolutions that would improve more than one area of my life and I tried to narrow it down to 3 goals. It is easier to focus my attention on a few areas rather than spread myself thin over too many goals. So here they are:
1- Do the Daniel Fast for 40 days starting on the 1st of January.
This goal is one I have been wanting to do for a long time, but something always gets in the way. I did do it for 2 weeks last year and I felt great. But then something came along and I fell off the wagon. If you are not sure what the Daniel Fast encompasses, here are the basics: No meat, no dairy, no sugar. Basically all natural stuff so your body can cleanse and heal itself. I will be bloggin throughout my journey talking about my successes and struggles.
2- Focus on prayer: Before meals, in the morning, and in the evening.
This is an area of my life I have wanted to work on for a long time because I know my relationship with the Lord will grow exponentially but just havent due to outside things getting in the way. I bought a women's Bible with a focus on prayer (for $65!!!) to help me stay focused. Which brings me to my next goal...
3- Read my entire NIV Bible in 2009 and memorize a Bible verse every month.
I read through my Message Bible in 2008(well I almost made it, I only had a couple of books to go and will finish those before I start school on Jan 5th). Now I would like to experience God's word in another fashion, the NIV translation. This time through I am going to add another dimension by memorizing Bible verses.
So there you go... My hopes for the New Year. I will try my hardest to Blog a little more. But I dont even know if anyone besides Michelle reads my blogs. Oh well... I will do it just for you Michelle :)
