New Year Resolutions

Hey y'all!

I'm back and better than ever! Lately I've really been thinking about ways I can better myself. And, since 2017 is coming up, I figured I would make a quick blog about my personal goals for the next year! It's never too early (or too late) to begin to better yourself!

1. To ACTUALLY physically better myself. I mean it this time. I'm so tired of feeling "bleh" and not being happy with my body image. Today is when I start eating healthier and exercising more! Don't get me wrong, McDonald's is still my favorite, but I just need to chill out on how often I'm expressing my love for McDon's. In this goal I am going to challenge myself to work out 5 times a week and I'm going to stop eating out, drinking pop, and snacking all the time. 

2. To grow closer to God. I set this goal on a daily basis, but I want to reach a relationship with the Lord that I can't even comprehend. I want to be so absorbed by His love that I constantly radiate Him. I want to be able to quote verses from the top of my head. I want to be the Christian friend and Christian role model in someones life. I want to preach without sounding like a hypocrite. I want to read my devotional bible religiously and not just when I'm feeling down.

3. To be genuinely happy. Not just happy when my hair cooperates, or when someone tells me I'm pretty, or when I do well on a test. I want to be so happy that my RBF goes away because all I do is smile and laugh. I don't want to worry about my anxiety holding me back any longer. It's time that my happiness shines through instead of my anxiety.

4. To listen to God's callings for me. For instance, this winter I felt called to prepare and distribute blessing bags for the homeless here in Indianapolis. I want to do things like this much more often. I want to go where He leads me and not worry about how I can make this possible or how I have time.. I want to go and paint the elderly ladies fingernails, and make Blessing Bags, and buy Christmas gifts for those who can't afford them. I want to better our communities and make others happy.

I know that these are cliche, but it is what it is. Thank you so much for reading my blog(s), I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. If you're planning on making a New Year Resolution list, you can do it! Your goals ARE reachable and you ARE going to accomplish them! You can do anything you set your mind to!

As always, God Bless and Merry Christmas.
