Resolutions. I has them.

My resolutions for the year 2010...

1) Read through the entire bible
2) Take control of my body with physical activities that make me happy (Rock climbing, hiking, yoga, cardio training - all supplied by Fullerton College, except climbing and hiking which will be supplied by Rock City and the mountains)
3) Journal consistently
4) Dwell on/memorize a bible verse a week
5) Work on improving my prayer life

Brianna's Resolutions for me...

1) Once a week (at least), speak up or be confrontational in a way that I would typically avoid.

2) Don't lose my phone

Some of my goals for the year...

*Read the Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

*Engage in creative activity at least once a week
*Pay off credit cards

*Learn 3-5 moderately entertaining songs on my ukulele
*Make more music with Brianna
*Expand and deepen in faith
*Move closer toward independence on all levels
*Delight more consistently in things that ought to be delighted in
*Grow steadily upon the foundation of surrender and acceptance-with-joy that was so profoundly and Divinely built in me these past six months.

Choices

Isn't it interesting the way in which one simple healthy choice, when made, always necessarily leads to multiple healthy choices?

My evening:

felt depressed and useless.

realized that I was succumbing to creeping lies and therefore doubting God.

healthy choice # 1: Repented.

Subsequent healthy choices: changed two light bulbs in my room and then...CLEANING RAMPAGE for 2 hours.

And now my heart and my living spaces are more organized. How nice.
