Today, I don’t know where to begin. I’ve never gone this
long without actually writing. So much to say and seemingly catch you up on,
but let’s just live in the present.
New year means new commitments. Resolutions are easily
broken after a couple weeks, the gym begins to thin out, people start eating
out again. To start, new vocabulary. No more resolutions, just commitments. Vulnerability
and caring less about what other people think are close to the top- so I may as
well just let you in on my little commitments for 2013.
1.
Invest. I
am not going to use the word “spend”
any more. I don’t want to spend time, spend money, spend energy. I am going to invest. Invest in loved
ones, invest in my ministry, invest my time in work, invest my heart in my
passion, invest energy in taking care of myself. Everything you invest, you
have a return. What you sow, that will
you also reap. [Gal 6:7]
2.
Strengthen. I will strengthen relationships. I will
strengthen my body. I will strengthen my mind and my soul.
3.
Rest. I will rest in the security I have been
given through my Savior. Rest in the Sabbath. Rest in love.
4.
Love. I want to be known by my love and passion
for others. This has been a banner of mine for many years, because this is what
the Lord is calling me to do in my life.
5.
Wake. I know this seems counteractive to #3, but
it’s not. I want to wake up earlier to invest, strengthen, and rest later. See what
I did there?
I have little commitments within those that can be used for
later little stories as a journey through this year.
That’s enough for today. Stay tuned
