I happen to be one of those people that makes New Year's resolutions..usually more than one, and most often they aren't very thought out. So I guess I have a blog now..
Right now, this blog doesn't have a specific theme, so if you think this is just another one of those where the person has nothing better to do with their life than tell the whole world wide web their problems when what they really need is a therapist then...you're actually very wrong :P I couldn't care less if anybody read this, but I made a resolution, so I guess I'll write whether anybody ever sees this or not. I wrote it in my prayer journal, and since God and I are kinda tight, let's just say my conscience will eat away at me if I don't at least try.
Before I end this, I'd like to share a thought on Daniel (the one from the Bible :), compliments of Pastor Mike Welch of 12 Stone Church:
Daniel had lots of big ideals; some might say he lived in NeverNeverland. He was blameless, followed God's law down to the very last "thou shalt not eat... (WAFFLES..wouldn't that be sad). Anyway, he had big ideals, and you know how he lived? With bold actions.
Big Ideal- God never falls.
Bold Action- Follow God in a fallen world.
example- tell the king of the greatest kingdom in the world that God's none too pleased with him and if he doesn't shape up, well, he might run into a few pothole's on the gravel road of life (in other words, flip his gourd and go Discovery Channel on the kingdom). The king could've said, "Off with his head!" and we'd probably be missing a few chapters in our Old Testament.
So..do we have big ideals?
hmm...how's this for a big ideal- the saying goes "mind over matter," right? So I am just going to tell my mind that I'm actually very very tired, that my throat doesn't hurt, and that I will be asleep in 8-12 minutes.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Peace
