It's already January 2 and I haven't really thought about the New Year! In church today the pastor talked about resolutions. His remarks are so true that we make resolutions and within the first day or week or month we completely forget about them. His idea instead was to choose a word "to be". For instance, how would you want to be remembered when you die? Do you want people to think you were a person of integrity, honest, joyful, present in the moment, or other character attributes? I thought about it and decided my word was going to be "Joyful". I would like people to say I was full of joy! The only way this is going to happen is through divine intervention.
My first steps are going to be in the back of the Bible looking for references to joy. Next I plan to watch for people who have joy, examine their lives to see what I could incorporate into mine!
So 2011...stepping out! Here I come!
