New Years Resolution's

New Year's Resolutions
          We all make them.  Most of us break them before the end of the first week or sometimes the first day.
          This year like many before came from a place where I knew I should be doing something differently; but I just couldn't seem to do it. I would struggle and try and make myself do it, because it is the thing that I am SUPPOSED to do. I think in my head all of the ways that the scene could work itself out obsessing over the worst.  "What will they think of me?" "How will they react?" "What will they say?" These statements were like little cartoon bubbles popping over my head.  But no more.  I have resolved that this year will be different.  No more excuses!
         My New Year's Resolution is to pray. I know that seems simple enough, right? However, it is not just to run through my laundry list of prayers every morning and every night praying empty words.  No, My New Year's Resolution is pray... for someone... at least one person... to be healed every day in 2011. I am not talking about some little Mickey Mouse prayers, no offense to the mouse.  My intention and resolve are set to praying out loud for that individual wherever and whenever.
          This is no small feat.  I am an extremely introverted person and the committee inside my head has strongly advised against this action.  I am determined however to see people touched by the infinite love that is God.  The opportunity to share His love for me and for all of you will hopefully trump the sweaty palms, heart palpitations, butterflies in my stomach, and cotton mouth. 
           So here I start an adventure with God in 2011.  Pray that I stay obedient!
