I have deemed this year the year of the journal! Sounds like a great plan, doesn’t it? Well I had the idea just yesterday and it sounded like a great idea to keep track of the goals and wishes I had for this upcoming year. I used to keep a journal, but I thought I grew out of it. Then I thought I didn’t know what I was to write about in one. Now that I am older, with slight bit (an extremely slight bit) more wisdom, I realize it can be about whatever I would like it to be. I am struggling in so many areas of my life that I really would like to improve upon this year. I normally make resolutions that I know for sure I can keep, or at least half of them, but this year I want to make a change and I want to go bold. I am making resolutions for myself of inner change that can help grow outer change. Learn to love myself. Grow a deeper connection to God (Yes I am Christian but I hardly consider myself pushy about the subject). Quite simply I want, as well as need, to be the person that I want my Elizabeth to be. She will be molded by what I do, not what I say.
So it was in this great soul-searching need that just under a week ago I went into a Christian bookstore to look for a devotional. I do not frequent these places often and have never done a devotional before, but something pulled me to the cover of the book (not the one above). I admit that great advertising can truly work on me, but I believe that I needed this book to make me slow down and take some time on myself. It all just kind of “fell into place.” I am only four days into the devotional, and it’s already hitting some nails on the head for me. I felt the urge of newness and change yesterday. I went to the closest store that I knew I could find a journal and brought him and have it seated right next to this computer, where it is begging me to open it to start this new year fresh. This year I will journal and keep track of all of my highs and lows in this book above. I will make this year rock, even amongst any hardships that are bound to happen. I am, for once, so excited for this new year! So to all,
Happy New Year!!!!
