Random thoughts & New Year's Resolutions

I'll start with the random thoughts about things I love and get serious towards the end.

- I love pepper.

- Got a new electronic scale and I think I'm getting a little obsessive over weighing myself....

- I love water.

- I love Chicago and the food there (pizza, hot dogs, pizza, popcorn, pizza)

- I love sweets but am cutting a lot of it out because one of my New Year's resolutions is to eat healthier and get more fit again.  I let myself go a bit towards the last quarter of the year.

- I made a bunch of New Year's resolutions and I almost never make any.  I wrote them down.  I'll share them with you.  The theme for most of them is God and how to live more for Him so here goes.

     - To be a better and more compassionate teacher & person
     - To be a dependable SG leader
     - To have a better prayer life
     - Continue giving a quote every morning that can inspire me
     - Continue devotionals and reflecting in the morning when I get up
     - Continue a vow I made to God for 1 year last July and to finish it strong
     - To do the 1 year devotional with the guys at church and not to miss a day.
     - To continue to give and tithe faithfully
     - To fast more this year and what I learned during those fasts
     - To live a life more dedicated to God.

I feel like this is a lot but doable.  Keep me accountable folks.  Pray for me and I'll pray for you.  I've even found a nice little prayer spot away from home that you'd never guess so anyways, my last love is this...

...I love Jesus.
