Isaiah 43: 18,19 – Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
Now that a new year has begun. I have to ask, did you make New Year’s resolutions?
 
I’d like to not just flippantly make a resolution, but one if tackled, can change my life all together.
 
Here are a few of the most common ones:
 
  1. Lose weight
  2. Lose weight
  3. Lose weight
  4. Finish your “things to do” list.
  5. But wait, you must make a list before you can complete it, so
  6. Make a list of things you want to get done.
  7. Write letters and birthday cards
  8. Answer back letters and cards
 
You get the gist of it. So, what’s my resolution:
  1. Show kindness
  2. Forgive others
  3. Pass out love in bucket fulls.
  4. Dream that dream, then wake up and reach for that dream
  5. Believe in yourself
  6. Believe God can help you to do your list.
 
Life can be full of the “awesome” things. Find yours today. It can be kinda fun to do, as many changes can blend in together to make a new you this year. People.howstuffworks.com gives us some ideas about new year’s resolutions such as stop procrastinating and just do it, learn to take risks, forgive someone, and learn one new thing. Find more ideas in the article, “10 New Year’s Resolutions Might Actually Keep.”
 
Now, go out there and make your list, keep it small, believe it can be accomplished then strive for it. Take a look at the Bible verse above, it challenges us to forget the things that are in the past and believe that God is doing a new thing in your life. God will make the way for you, if you believe that streams can flow in the wasteland of your life. Can you feel the shower starting? It may be scary to begin with, but it can be just the start you need to make and keep your New Year’s resolutions.
