I know many hate New Year's Resolutions. I love them. I love fresh starts. I haven't yet come up with my New Year's Resolutions, but I will take some time on January 1 to do so... I like to think of my goals in terms of my roles (Christ-follower, husband, father, pastor, friend) and attempt to have one goal for each of those "categories." If I have more than one goal per role - I get overwhelmed and it usually guarantees failure, and I don't need to feel like a bigger failure. So I prefer to set some realistic goals that (by God's grace) I can meet.
I pray that this new year finds you growing closer to God, more intentionally loving your family, and living in the reality of cross of Christ!
