Resolutions

Every year, I make resolutions.  Every year come February, I break them.  So this year, I have decided not to make resolutions, but to make decisions.  Decisions that I will stand by throughout the year.  Decisions that will benefit me, that will enable me to become a better person, and that will bring me further in my walk with the Lord.

I will read the Word everyday.  Even if it is only 1 verse.  I will read it. 
I will pray every day.  Even if it is while I am folding laundry, washing dishes, or just sitting still.
I will strive to be a better wife.  Even if it means doing something I really don't like.
I will strive to be a better mother.  Even if that means playing with Play-doh or watching Drake and Josh.
I will strive to be a better friend.  Even if that means hearing the same story again and again and giving the same advice again and again.
I will not think of myself as much.  Even if that means no more scrapbooking supplies for a while.
I will get out of debt.  Even if that means not going to the movies or out to eat as much.

These are things that I have decided to do to make my life better.  These are decisions that I can stick to.  These are not resolutions that can be broken.  These are decisions that I have purposed in my heart to uphold.
