Happy New Year!
So it's a new year, a new time, and new experiences are to come. This last year has been a complete turn around. Instead of writing about what has happened this past year, I am looking past it and floating into the future. Don't run; I don't want to pass what I am supposed to see. This past year has been the largest experience of my life. Now lets start off the new year, and continue through it, with what I have realized.
Learn from others and don't fall behind because someone has made the same mistake (and if you do, get back up and fix it...don't live that mistake forever).
Strive for success and don't let anything stop you.
Love who is in your life. (Learn from them, and when it is time for them to leave, let them go).
Embrace every moment. (Good or bad. Life is too short to dwell).
Realize the meaning of family, and hold everyone close.
Let life happen.
Don't try and control everything. (It won't work...and if it does it won't last).
If something looks wrong, feels wrong, and seems too hard to handle, it is wrong.
Stressing about something IS NOT worth it. It accomplishes nothing and takes away from today's happiness.
O my gosh there is just so much...I can just go on and on.
So how did I start of my day? I prayed. I prayed my heart out. How do I do this? Anywhere. Anytime. And I am still growing with my relationship with God so being comfortable with this is getting stronger. This morning when I was on my way to the gym, I was in powerful prayer. Praying to God for a better year, for blessings, for me to change lives, for the power to bring light, for anything that is in his plan for my life to happen. Just for the POWER of GOD to take over my life and alter it in any way it needs to be altered.
New Year Resolutions?
Okay, so I have NEVER had New Year Resolutions. I think they are silly BUT of course I have 3 this year. Never say never...right?
3..2..1--->Here is to 2012! :)
1. Read my Bible! All of it.
When I say read all of my Bible I don't mean in a certain amount of time. I think that when a time limit is set, it almost takes away from the focus on what is trying to be accomplished. I want to know why I believe what I believe. There are so many different interpretations of what being a "Christian" is and I want to find out the meaning behind my heart. I am going to feed my mind, soul, and spirit with my faith.
2. Be the Light.
Bring light and happiness to people's lives. Don't be the reason they are upset. Be the reason they smile. Don't let the situation influence me. Let me influence the situation.
3. of course....GO GREEN.
This does not mean taking away showers or ride my bike (I drive a truck...so I need to make up for the damage I do!) My goal here is to just be aware of my surroundings and how I can use less. Not be the "typical American" with the attitude of "I want new because I am bored with what I have." Use less, be aware of what I use, and buy more environmental friendly products.
My Plan:
I will try and blog about what I do and how I am keeping up with my resolutions. Sounds okay? :)
Lets see how I do.
2012 I hope you are ready for me, because here I come.
Now, what did I do to welcome the new year? Dad and I made dinner, baked a cake, and relaxed at home. It was so much fun! Here are some pictures to share our moments. Enjoy!
In case you wanted to see that my dad and I are kind of normal... :)
Goodbye 2011.
Hello 2012, my name is Christi.
