Have You Made Your Resolution Yet?

As this year draws to a close and next year is around the corner, some of you will embark on the tradition of making a resolution. What will you resolve to do in 2009? Will it be lose weight, spend less, exercise more, or something else?

I would like to make one suggestion. Whether you want to call it a “resolution” or not is up to you. How about making a plan to do something each month that will help you with your walk with God? Here are some suggestions…

1. Pray for 30 days about 30 different things than you normally do
2. Read a book during one month that has a religious meaning (i.e. Purpose Driven Life, Come Thirsty, Twelve Ordinary Men, etc.)
3. Attend a workshop, lectureship, Ladies’ Day, etc. (i.e. Tulsa Workshop)
4. Write, call, or text a different person everyday, for a month, with the purpose of encouraging them.
5. Host a movie night and invite someone you wouldn’t normally invite
6. Plan an outreach event that helps get our church exposed to the community.
7. Help out someone (aka serving) by volunteering to do a task for them – laundry, babysit, wash car, etc.
8. Go to a Christian/Gospel concert

Maybe you can think of a few more to put on the list. You can do one of these activities more than once during the year. Just make sure that it isn’t losing its impact in making your walk with God more enjoyable.

May your 2009 be filled with many “WOW” moments as you see God working in your life!

Happy 2009!
