I used to do this long list and then never accomplish it and then be mad at myself. I've finally learned that I need to prayerfully consider what I'm to do and only list a few things I am earnestly intending to accomplish.<br /><br />My first priority is like yours - to deepen my relationship with God through daily reading of His Word and prayer.<br /><br />Second is to learn to live simply. This sounds lofty and vague but for me it means several things - budget more, spend less, get rid of stuff we aren't using/don't need.<br /><br />Third is focus on what matters. This goes hand in hand with the other two items and encompasses learning to listen, invest time and love and energy to those who want and need it, stop trying to impress everyone, do only what I feel led to do by God.<br /><br />I believe God has something special in store for His people this year. I'm excited to be a part of it and I look forward to seeing what He does in you and your family as well.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251936768042830801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-79434348272842700462012-12-30T16:37:06.136-05:002012-12-30T16:37:06.136-05:00I can hardly wait to see what the year holds for y...I can hardly wait to see what the year holds for you and for me!

As I get older it is just not doable and I find myself always behind! Ugh! Thank you and Happy New Year!

First I have one more "Christmas" to get through this afternoon, so it will have to happen this evening and tomorrow in order to meet my January 1, 2013 self-imposed deadline. <br /><br />"I want to drench myself in music and sermons all through the day." This particular goal I like in every way - especially the term "drench" :)<br /><br />I have even been drenching myself in sermons while I sleep - going to bed with sermons on our Christian radio station; sometimes waking up to one during the night; and always in the morning.

If I can just keep my head on straight, better than it was in 2012 anyway. <br />Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.com
