My First EVER New Years Resolution

 

 

 

Well, it's officially already over a week into year 2014.

 

And life goes on.

 

Doesn't it.

 

That wasn't a question.

 

It does.

 

Regardless of how much time we spend trying to savor sweet moments, life just goes on.

 

One thing I have always wanted to do is the whole "New Years Resolution," thing.

 

Honestly, I just never knew what to do.

 

Everyone was either planning on losing weight, going to the gym constantly or going to quit drinking pop.

 

Thankfully, at this time in my life, I have no extra poundage I need to lose.

 

I chase a toddler around all day, there is my gym time.

 

And I like water.

 

So, this year I decided to make a goal.

 

A rather lofty goal, but I want to do it.

 

I wasn't going to write on my blog or tell people publicly my resolution because, well, I don't like to fail.

 

Who does?

 

But, since I like accountability, I thought I would share it with you all.

 

Last January I started something all on my own which has changed my life in every way.

 

I have wrote about it in the past, but to refresh your memory, I'll tell you again.

 

I pray at midnight. Maybe not on the dot each night. But usually I try to.

 

It is not the only time I pray, sometimes I pray longer earlier in the day, but I felt led to start praying at a specific time after reading a book on prayer. They suggested midnight since so many people are asleep and nobody is up fighting the enemy. (Satan.)

 

So, although that was in January 2013 when I made that change in my life, it wasn't really a resolution to begin with... it turned into a resolution for life!

 

But this year, I want to push to do this one...

 

It will take more time and concentration then praying each night at midnight I believe.

 

 

I want to memorize one verse each week.

 

 

This week I have memorized 2 Kings 6:16.

 

And he answered, Fear not; They that be with us are more than they that be with them.

 

I hope me sharing my goal with you will inspire someone to do the same, make a lofty goal for 2014.

 

I want God's Word hid in my heart, so I may not sin against Him.

 

 

Have a wonderful day.
