What is your resolution?
Posted by: Derek Spirk

Every "New Year" we all make commitments that we're going to do something DIFFERENTLY than the year previous; or in many cases recommit ourselves to doing.

So, here's one simple question, that we'd like to know:  What is YOUR resolution?  This blog will be live all year long so you can come back and check in and remind yourself and others what commitment you've made to yourselves.

Leave your comments below... we'll look forward to reading your responses.

to minister to as many people as possible - 2010-01-09
Being an advocate for compassion has literally changed my life. Helping the poorest children in the world in a priveledge and an honor. In 2010, we hope to sponsor more children, donate more and help my sponsored child, Jeffery in Nicaraga. Also spend more quality time with my family and hopefully see a mws concert. Hope everyone has blessed new year, love, lynn

Revival - 2010-01-09
I want the fire of revival to re-ignite in my heart, my family, friends, church, and everywhere else God leads. I want to re-dedicate what God has put in me for His glory, and i pray for strength to carry out His will in my life...Writing this reminds me of a little poem that I oftentimes refer to: " As children bring their broken toys, With tears for us to mend; I brought my broken dreams to God, Because He was my friend. But then instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone, I hung around and tried to help, with ways that were my own. At last I snatched them back and cried "How could you be so slow?", "My child," He said, "What could I do? You never did let go..." -author unknown... I want God to be in complete control of my life, not just of some things, but of everything. With Him in the lead, i want to help spark the fire of revival to those around me. Most importantly, i want to do this His way, not the way myself or others think it should be done.

My resolution - 2010-01-09
My new year resolution is to brush up my English. And my dream is to see your concert someday. I haven't studied English recently because I've been busy taking care of my kids since my first son was born 4 years ago. I knew your songs when I was a high school student. I love your music, and also hope that I and my husband will keep a nice relationship as you do.

Give Back Big in 2010! - 2010-01-01
My thoughts are with those in need, as I have been one for over a year now...ignored and often not believed..I have experienced great need now I want to take what I have learned and truly give myself back.I have received mercy and grace, I have worked behind the scenes never really daring myself to lead because of fear ironically I have spent much of my life and creative ability giving to others that don't even know it, or have the ability to recognize it;time to quit waisting it on the proud. I am really ready to move forward and pour myself out for my kids and others like never before.

Drawing Nearer to Him - 2009-12-31
I have, slowly over time, separated myself from God's loving embrace. It has been a one-sided relationship and the results have been obvious for the past year, or so. I need to acquire the discipline to seek His will for my life and trust in that wholly. I want to feel content once again.

to live more simply - 2009-12-31
In the new year, I want to live more simply, without all the "stuff" that seems to clutter my life, so that I may focus more upon the Lord and where He wants me. And to stop overcommitting myself to "things", so that I may focus simply loving on others and not doing things on a task list.

2010 Resolutions - 2009-12-31
My 2010 resolutions this year were thought out well, I'm currently working on a blog post about them @ my blog adkinsdailypress@blogspot.com but to be short & sweet....I have read every twilight book, but have never read the Bible 100% all the way through, but in 2010 this will change! I'm reading the entire Bible through. I want to finally get my dream job as a firefighter & EMT, I will graduate from Volstate on May 8 with my EMT, and since I have passed every test with the fire dept. I am aiming to be "Bev Adkins, firehouse girl" before 2010 ends. {Praying to be on the OTHER SIDE of the unemployment ratio} I want to be a better wife & mother, by being a better christian example & leader. I want to get a good job so my huusband & I can move our children into our own home & move out of the In-laws home. They are such a blessing but we are ready for our own home! I want to get my Christmas cards sent out the day after Thanksgiving & last, but most importantly, I want to spend much much more time with my best Friend, Jesus! Thats the short list, impromptu! Praying everyone has a very blessed 2010! Take Jesus with you into the new year...the new decade!

working on quiet time - 2009-12-30
I have struggled with having a quiet time and spending time with God. So I have made up my mind to start having a quiet time on a regular basis and growing my relationship with my savior. My plan is to get through the entire year next year without missing too many days. Because I know I should be so much farther in my relationship than I am currently.
by Twilight

Sister - 2009-12-30
my resolution is to study my bible and write notes in it everyday. so much so that there wont be a blank spot left in my bible. I also just started a journal to keep track of how god is showing up and working in my life each day. However, although I've been writting... nothing really good to report... And lastly I was hoping to start drawing again... since it is what I'm good at... but I haven't drawn in 4 years! Don't forget me- I'll be around.

Resolution means... - 2009-12-30
...resolve, determination, perseverance, tenacity; strength, fortitude, namely concerning change one wishes to make about themselves! And if you feel brave enough to move out of the box and look at the definition of resolution where music is concerned...moving from dissonance (inharmonious,harsh discord) to consonance (harmony of sounds, a simultaneous combination of tones conventionally accepted as being in a state of repose). This will be my year of Selah, I will to bring my often 'inharmonious' spirit to a place of repose with Him! "I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee." Psalms 144:9
