Determine to Love

I hardly ever make a New Year's Resolution because I find them to be ineffective and a passing fad.   So I propose we rename our decisions New Year's determinations.  What should we do this year, unlike last, that will make a notable impact on us?  Then ask the question, am I determined to execute my decisions day to day?

All that being said, here some of my New Year's determinations:

1) Before laying my head down on the pillow each night, make sure that I have read my bible and daily sought after God.

2) Set personal goals and times for schoolwork to be done by.  Try not to let things sneak up on me.

3) Above all, demonstrate God's love in all aspects of my life, especially my speech.  "For God demonstrated His love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Last year, I kept pushing God away all summer and last semester even.  Yet, God never left me or forsook me.  No, He kept drawing me nearer as I keep pushing Him away.  This year determine to love one another as Christ loves us and gave his life for us.  Check back often, as I plan to update more frequently this year as well.
