Resolution #1 – To dedicate this year to drawing closer to God and have a solid devotional life. I have a good devotional life at present but my heart’s desire is to have an even better one. After enjoying reading through the Bible in 2009, I’m going to do it again this year. This time I’m following the ‘ESV Every Day in the World’ reading plan.
Resolution #2 – I refuse to waste my life on Facebook. I have recently realized that I spend too much time on Facebook… I could use the excuse that it keeps me up to date with my family, the youth etc – but really it’s a cop out for community.
To help with this, I installed the Firefox add-in called ‘LeechBlock’. It limits time spent on certain websites – I’m trying to cut it down to 40 minutes a day between home and work. This is the same for TV and computer time also.
Resolution #3 – Value community more! Spending more time with people, building relationships and encouraging them in their walk.
Resolution #4 – Be fervent in prayer for the Youth, continue investing time through discipleship, and focus on outreach this year. It is my prayer to have the opportunity to witness deeper to the Jr. High’s at Westmount and to see them have that relationship with Christ.
Resolution #5 – I’m going to challenge myself to read a book a week in the next year. And this doesn’t mean that I’m buying more books! I have a ton of good books that I’m looking forward to re-reading in the next year. Here is my reading list….
Resolution #6 – Devote myself further to my wife and our children (when it happens). My greatest ministry calling is to my wife and family. They are my priority!
Resolution #7 – Have the Lord be my joy regardless of what happens in the next year!
