Tomorrow
is another day in my life, but it happens to mark the beginning of a calendar year.
I have never been good at keeping resolutions that start and stop at the new-year.
I think that is mostly because there are not a whole lot of other things that
use the calendar as a year. A school year is from September to May. (at least
for me) My birthday is at the end of the summer so technically my year starts
then. Sports are by season. And many other things have their own timeline. I
have made goals for myself. Mostly reading, writing, and school goals, but I
did very well with them. But, to be honest January 1rst is not a good starting
point for me. There are things that I
hope to learn, try, or do within the next year and those are the things I will
focus on.
Things
I have learned, tried, or done in year 2012:

specific ones.

There are many more things I will do in the coming year. Sometimes
God teaches us something, opens a door, or has us be a part of something that
we are not expecting. That is why I am planning on certain things, but I know
that God’s plans trump mine and they are always better.
You have great goals. God is dong great things in your life.
