new years revolution

let's be real. new years resolutions are quite typically over-rated and under-delivered. i'm just as guilty of watching mine go unresolved as the next person.

however, this year, i will take a new approach to new years resolutions. i instead will enlist my heart in a new year's revolution.

the dictionary defines revolution as: a dramatic and wide-reaching change in the way something works or is organized or in people's ideas about it. i want to revolutionize the way i think, act, and speak. more importantly, this is not something i seek to do on my own, nor could i even achieve a heart-revolution on my own. it is something that i must fully walk in Christ to see it achieved in my life, and fully rely on Him to both begin and maintain this change. unlike resolutions that are marked by their completion, a revolution is marked by notable change, but is often always a work in process.

walk with me in this revolution. challenge me. help to keep me accountable. and i challenge you to not only make new years resolutions to better your resume; but a new years revolution to deepen your relationship and reliance on the King of Kings.

okay, i'm not completely above resolutions. in fact, i think working on strengthening our weaknesses, or even our strengths, is a good annual investment. this year, i want to become a better writer, and will strive to blog once a day, for every day of the year! even if it's just a quick reflection on a moment or a longer discourse on an epiphany. today, i'm 1 for 1! :)
