It’s that time again when people make new years resolutions. Did you make any? How are you doing with them? The only new years resolution I made and kept was in 2007 when I vowed not to eat fast food. I made it all year without eating fast food. My only exception was Subway, which in my mind was healthy. Now I know how grains can harm your digestive system, my opinion has changed dramatically.
This year, I have a few simple goals.
I want to be able to do 3 dead hang pullups, if not more.
I want to do at least 10 pistol squats on each leg.
I want to read the Bible all the way through.
I want to get my degree started, if not finished. At age 28, I feel like somewhat of a slacker without a degree. That may be due to the brainwashing most Americans get that says you need to have a degree to be successful and accomplished. Who knows. I know that my goal of being a nutritionist and fitness professional cannot be achieved without a degree or certificate of some sort. I feel like I’ve wasted some of my time a a young person but at the same time, if I’d have stayed in college, I would not be the person or be where I am today. I am very blessed.
What are your goals this year? How will you get there? Goals should be measurable and attainable, not too broad.
A slacker? Doubtful! I’m guessing that this is Hannah writing. Just want to encourage you to keep after it! There is a saying that goes like this: No one plans to fail, they just fail to plan! Well, we know our plans are not our own when we are living for Christ, but I do believe that he puts a desire in our heart, that desire can become a goal attained by those plans he leads us to. Gary had never felt called to be a pastor, but at the age of 46 God called us away to Bible College, to become a part of His plan for ministry. It has been an awesome adventure to date and our PLAN is to keep after it as well. 10 years later, graduated, pastoring in our second church and seeing His plan and provision y everyday in peoples lives is testimony to His faith in us and our trust in Him. God’s best as you pursue that desire to attain your degree.
I am inspired by both of you and Amber. Keep it up ladies. I personally have been eating a little “cleaner” and realize my small steps are still steps in the right direction.
