New Year’s Resolutions- or the lack thereof

I’m just not gonna do it this year…

Year before last, I stuck to it. I said I was gonna read my bible cover to cover and I did.

Last year, I decided I’d read The Message bible cover to cover.

I made it to about May on my reading guide and that’s as far as I got… Shame on me… I really wanted to do it. I will finish it at some point. Hopefully this year.

I’ve been reading my bible, but more certain passages over and over and studying, as opposed to reading it straight through.

I’ve been reading a lot of adoption books, books about Ethiopia,  adoption and books such as, “Crazy Love”,  “The Hole in our Gospel” and “Outlive Your Life”.

Good books. Books that I’ve been learning from and I have enjoyed meditating on the truths in them.

So, I’m not formally making a Resolution this year.

None. No resolutions to lose weight either.

So, I’ve put back on a few pounds in the past few months…. I feel good, I’m healthy and my husband tells me every single day that I’m beautiful (and he means it).

I’m not going to stress over it this year for a change.

I guess maybe I’m going to resolve to quit looking around me and constantly comparing myself to every other woman I see… and feeling like most of the time I am not good enough because I’m not thin enough…and just see myself the way God sees me. From the inside and not the out. What’s in my heart and not what size is on the tag of my jeans.

Wait…NO… I’m not making any resolutions, remember?! :)

Happy New Year, everyone!

I’m certainly looking forward to a wonderful and exciting year in 2011!!
