- Become a better friend.
- Make friends and form a community in Detroit.
- Run 26.2 miles.
- Cook a 5 course meal for my family and friends.
- Find my purpose at St. Paul. Challenge myself at St. Paul in order to become a better teacher. I need to find what will make me the teacher God has called me to be.
- Explore Detroit. I need to accept the fact that I now live on the East side of the state. I need to accept that I no longer live in the best city in the world (Grand Rapids) and explore the city that I now call home. This will help me accomplish Resolution #2 (friends and community in the D).
- Read 5 books. I know this seems like a low number but with teaching, planning a wedding, and living in a new city, 5 seems strenuous.
- Volunteer. Actually volunteer. Not just say that I am going to volunteer and then say I am "too tired" or "too busy" on the weekends. I am going to volunteer.
- Enjoy planning my wedding and not become swept away in all of the planning.
- Find peace of mind. I sometimes let myself get carried away in questioning where I am in my life. I have nothing to be anxious or worried about (Philippians 4:6). I have a beautiful life and I am surrounded by beautiful people.
Alright, that's ten New Year's Resolutions. So, here it goes. Bring it, 2012. I'm ready for ya!
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Unknown
