Welcome blog readers.
I’m back.
It’s true, I took a hiatus for quite awhile. Over a year to be exact.
The past year, I’ve gone through a lot of self-reckoning, and I look forward to sharing more about that reckoning in the coming week/months. Until then I thought I would just have fun, and share my 2012 Hopefuls with you.
• Continue schooling (Feb 6 – Indiana Wesleyan University)
• Pay off all debts by August
• Write apology letters to the people in my life I’ve wronged
• Give grace to the people who I’ve yet to do so
• Come to terms with where I want to be, compared to where God has me and is taking me
• Meet the lady who will be a part of my long-term future
• Be healthier because God has called me to be, not because I care how others view me
• Be able to run 6 miles by July
• Continue to support the local business
• Take the stairs over the elevator on a regular basis
• Drink less coffee and more natural juices
• Buy all my produce from the Farmer’s Market
• Visit my brother in New Hampshire, Aunt/Friends in Georgia, friend in California
• Don’t be such a judgmental jerk
• REALLY love others
This list could go on and on, but this is the core of what I hope to accomplish in 2012. I fully believe that the year I’ll have is dependent on my attitude and belief towards the year I’m facing. I don’t believe that for only me, but for you, my readers, as well. So with that, I wish all of you nothing but the best in 2012. As I posted on New Years Eve, “I am praying that 2012 brings you moments of learning, inspiration, brokenness, hope, sorrow, and love.”
Now tell me, what is something you’re hoping to accomplish this year?
It's been a long time. Too long. Glad you've stepped back into the blogging pool. You were missed.
Great list, by the way. Do them. All of them.
Good to have you back buddy- I look forward to it,. and a chance to connect and meet up in IN this year too!
Haha, thanks! I'm glad to be back. I've missed writing and sharing my heart with this community.
I'll be adding that last little tidbit to my '2012 Hopefuls'. Let's meet up for sure.
I linked over from Pete's blog…so nice to "meet" you :-)
Last year I made a long list of goals, and when I look back, I failed miserably! ha! But…this year, my main goal is on your list as well..to really LOVE others. My heart breaks daily for the way some people are treated, but I have realized I don't always treat others the way I should, either. I want everyone to feel the love and acceptance and adoration that only come from Christ, so my goal is to draw as close to him as I can, in order to fully love others.
Oh, and I too, took a year blog break….so at least for Jan, I'm ditching FB and will be more intentional about prayer, journaling, and possibly blogging.
I look forward to reading about your journey in 2012! God Bless.
best of luck to you as well…praying 2012 will be great for both of us (and now that i am further north than you in michigan, i think i need more prayers than you. it's cold!) :) thank you for your kind words on my site. keep in touch, whatever that means these days!
Haha! Yes, yes, you do need more prayers than me being in Michigan. (;
I have a good friend up in Grand Rapids, so I hear about how the weather is worse up there, compared to here in Indiana, often. I'd love to share a conversation over a cup of coffee sometime, if I'm ever up that way. I'll drop you and email if I am, and you can either decide.
Regardless, rock on in 2012, and I'll keep in touch…because I know what it "means these days". lol
Great post! Welcome back!
