New Years Resolutions

I'm not usually one to document or even take new years resolutions seriously, but I've noticed a few things, a few bad habits in my life that I would like to change. First and foremost - the gym (of course). I would like to make it a point to go at least 3 times a week. AT LEAST. Unless of course, Josh and I are traveling back to PA, in which case I'm not going to exercise while I'm vacationing. Second, I would like to get up before 10am every day, and get moving at a decent time. There are things that I could be getting done in the morning. Especially if I know I have to work and laundry or dishes desperately need done, I need to wake up earlier and get those things done before work. Third, I would like to make it more of a point to have devotional time every day, not just when I remember once or twice a week. Fourth, I would like to spend more time playing my guitar and singing. Fifth, and this will be my last, I would like to attempt to be a little more out-going with the girls from work. Christine has talked about going out to lunch before but I've never attempted to make a reciprocal "let's hang out" offer. Also, Michelle is coming back to work soon, and I should offer to help her with the baby some day if she needs to get things accomplished around the house. Kelly invited me out to drinks the one night, and it fell through, but perhaps we could find something else to do. And I need to get better about giving back to my girls at work. I ask for an awful lot of help when I'm working, hey guys can you do this, hey guys, can someone do that. It's about time I give back. I have responsibilities as a member of the team, it's about time I've stepped up. This isn't just a J.O.B. This is my career, and it's about time I start treating it that way. I need to set up dentist and eye appointments for Josh and I. Also, reaching out at church is a big one. We've started a good friendship/relationship with several people in the church, I don't need to be afraid to go - even by myself. And if I can get to care-group, that would be magnificent. Maybe I could find someone to trade me if I'm working the 2nd and 4th mondays of the month. I think that falls on my weekend off though. Anyways, I'm rambling now - but here's my list of highly ambitious resolutions and goals for the new year. Lord, Please hear my prayers, please help me to get better at my sinful habits, and help me to rest in you each and every day. Help me to follow your word, and crave to know you better. Give me a hopeful and giving heart. All of these things I pray in your precious name, Amen.

Love, Sara
