Not a New Year's Resolution

I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions. Few people ever keep them, and I've accepted the fact that I'm not one that does. Yesterday however, was officially my second day of Spring '09 classes, and I found myself sitting in the Student Rec Center making a list. A list of goals I've made for myself, that will hopefully improve my overall quality of life and well being. This post serves as a written contract of sorts. Few people read this blog, but I hope those that do will ask me at the end of the semester how I did at reaching and maintaining these goals. They are as follows:

• Go to bed by 11:00(ish) p.m.
• Wake up between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m.
• Spend time in the word every morning; read My Utmost for His Highest daily
• Study/Review every Monday,Wednesday, and Friday morning before class
• To actively seek and find God in every class I take; yes even in my Biology Lab and History of Western Dress
• Train for a Century Bike Ride for this summer or late spring (Maybe the MS 150 in April?...depends on school) by:
• Taking a twice a week indoor cycling class
• Riding my bike to campus every week day
• Going on long distance rides on weekends
• Practice being a better friend, sister, daughter
• Save money by not eating out so much and not purchasing random things on a whim
• Seek prayer needs of others, rather than always praying for myself

These are just some practical, tangible things I'd like achieve. There are also many personal things I'd like to see happen in my life, but I know all things come in His perfect timing. I can't wait to see what my God has in store!
