So it's just a few days into the new year, 2011! I can't believe how fast time flies by. It's crazy how much you begin to realize the truth to that statement as you get older. I thought I didn't have any new year resolution for 2011, so when friends would ask I would simply tell them I wasn't interested in making a resolution...a goal for this year that I seem to always not accomplish. But it hit me after my friend, Nathan asked if I had a new years resolution. And at first I answered him back like I did with my other friends, but I found that it would in fact be a very good thing to set a goal for myself. Honestly, I have been feeling a little lazy lately and maybe a little too comfortable with that situation. So, with some thought, I have come to the conclusion that I will not have low expectations for myself this year. I'm tired of feeling as though I am slipping into that type of mindset of an "average" teenager. I want to be different, by setting the bar higher for myself. Creating more goals and getting myself more involved in the things I love to do, that I have been timid to pursue. Along with these things, I know that I'm called to live a better, more meaningful life serving the Lord. I want my life to count and that can start now. I don't want to settle with a mediocre life style as a Christian teenager knowing this calling that we all have.
So that is my resolution for the year. Having higher expectations for my life; putting effort into making it count for the Lord. I thank my friend Nathan for making me think again.
