resolution 1

Happy New Year! I asked someone today if they made new year's resolutions and they said why make 'em if you're just going to break 'em? They had a point. And I haven't made resolutions for many years partly for that reason. But another friend, my accountability partner, and I also talked about resolutions...namely how we had said we would be accountability partners - we gave ourselves the name alright, but that's really as far as it went. Were we not sincere enough in our desire to keep each other accountable? I don't think that is it at all...Life happens, and memories go to pot...

This year, I am going to make 31 resolutions, 1 for each day of January, and make every effort to hold true to them. Maybe I should start by looking up the definition for resolve and resolution...resolution: a formal expression of opinion, will, or intent

1. I resolve to be a true accountability partner to my friend Jana. I will be intentional in our conversations, asking about her bible study, prayer life, and her spiritual walk in general. I will be there for her when she needs to talk, will listen and not rush to share my own problems, and will encourage her.
