I can tell this year is going to be a big year full of big changes, especially since I will be graduating from college this coming December. I've realized that I really need to start planning and getting organized, which will in the long run help with personal growth in a variety of ways. With that said, I am very excited for this new year!
Goals/Resolutions for my faith and personal growth:
1) Read 10 books
- Not only read, but study and understand. I've noticed that as the years have passed, I have slowly slowed down on reading my Bible. This is something I really want to start again with and keep with it, making it a habit and a love that keeps me going. I need to stop thinking that I don't have time for it. That has definitely become a bad habit and taken over my ability to grow. Time isn't long enough to pass things as important as keeping up with your faith.
2) Memorize at least 10 Bible verses
- What we know about God comes from the Bible. Therefore, the Bible is what we should reference and strive to know. This is the reason why I have made it a goal to memorize at least 10 Bible verses by the end of this year. I was definitely not gifted with great memorization skills, so I figured 10 is very do-able. I believe that by memorizing scripture, it will help keep the Lord in mind through daily life events, tell others about God, and increase our knowledge of the Word and of God.
3) Becoming more open, along with openly sharing my faith
- I feel like this is a part of life that I really struggle with and I would love to improve on it. I've always been very closed off, keeping a lot to myself and feeling nervous about sharing my thoughts and feelings because what the consequences might be. This year I hope to step out of my comfort zone and share more with others. Along with this, it will help in building better and stronger relationships with those around me.
