A Curious Girl: A few of my resolutions

Well, I promised I'd be back with new year's resolutions...

Here are last years':

1) Get voluntary work with children. Hopefully the kids' club on Saturdays.

I didn't do this, but I'm helping in Sunday school next weekend. Woo! So only a year late, eh?

2) After the show (The Gondoliers) in February, take up a sport or dancing. Or buy Dance Dance Revolution. Woohoo.

Heh... I'm still astoundingly unfit, but I'm going to join the gym here at work, since it's Ł3 a month. I might even go occasionally...

3) Go to Soul in the City.

Did that. It was great.

4) Finally read the entire Bible since I didn't last summer.

Um, didn't do that.

5) Do not revise (because you can never resist breaking resolutions with a 'not' in them!)

I did break this resolution, but not enough, as usual.

So this year...

1) Don't make a resolution about reading the entire Bible again.

2) Attempt to save some money. Bring sandwiches/soup/spaghetti hoops/whatever in for lunch at least 4 times a week instead of eating at the restaurant.

3) Get home internet access. Thankfully, actually fulfilling this one will be very easy.

4) Get a prayer partner here I can talk to about God and who can put up with my annoying questioning (unlikely ;) but maybe I could ask Sandra in my housegroup)

5) Go to Faith camp with Christina if she wants to go. She reckons she'll hate it for the first few days... so do I. But I don't want to think that there might be people there being more Christian than me :)

And finally...

6) Try and do good whenever I can, rather than trying the "God, please tell me if you want me to do this" trick. God does want us to do good. If all that's holding me back from doing good is lack of courage and fear of embarrassment, then the answer to the prayer "do you want me to?" is most certainly "yes".

Oh, and really finally,

7) Pray every day (by which I mean really pray, not just mutter a few holy sounding words.)

Random word for today: intention
