How many times have I started something, then I realize it was filled with too many obstacles, so I quit? Last year I started a resolution that I would be better at organizing, and by the looks of my room right now I know I didn't follow through with it. Was it that I was passive instead of passionate? Or maybe I just forgot about it in the fog of my busy life?
This year I have made quite a few goals, each fitting into a vital category of my life. From what I can tell, its going to take baby steps, reminding myself not to give up, to keep pursuing. It's going to take a lot of prayer to keep me going, but I am convinced that if the goals I made this year mold into God's Will, things will be okay.
I've learned a lot this year, but I have more to learn. It's baby steps. And the bitter-sweetness of this statement has left me in awe, ready for a year of change, community, and Christ.
This year, I'm going to live. I'm going to rely on Jesus. I'm going to serve others with humility. I'm going to enjoy the sweet life Jesus has given me.
This year, I'm taking baby steps.

Hey you! I know how you feel... so much. Sometimes I get discouraged.. you know people who don't understand the change in my life.. people who are so confused after they've seen me be changed by the love of Jesus... it's hard.. and yeah - it sure does take baby steps. I read your testimony. Thank you for writing it!! I am reminded just how incredibly blessed we are.... It is amazing how the hard things bring us so much closer to Him. Keep going. You're on the right track.. we're running for the high calling of Jesus Christ! Thankful for you.
