new year ... new plans

"The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." Proverbs 16:9

I like to make resolutions and say I'm going to do this or that. I fail miserably most of the time but that's not to say I should not try. i hope my plans and the Lords establishment line up.

My resolutions are not as great as the resolutions of Jonathon Edwards. Example:
5. Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.
Yes, ive lost many a moment today looking at random crap online. yes, ive lost moments this week thinking such negative thoughts about myself and others. so i would resolve it...i should resolve it...but i doubt my ability...not the Lord.

So my resolutions are just a tad more simplistic:

1. read the bible through- meditate and memorize
2. cont'd from forever- control my blood sugars
3. take my thyroid medication
4. lose 20-30 lbs.
5. impact the community through service
6. love people and watch my sarcasm
7. appreciate my mom more
8. organize my desk consistently

8 is good for now.
