New Year, New Me? Posted by Thomas Grice on 7:13 AM

Every year, we start a new year. When the new year rings in, it means many things to many people. People also make new years resolutions as well. Some of the most common resolutions I hear about are losing weight, quitting smoking, quitting drinking, be a better spouse and so on. In past times, I have made many new years resolutions. However, I have the hardest time to commit to them. Sometimes I think that what I am trying to commit to doesn't have enough meaning to me.

So now this year, not only is it a new year, but it is also a new decade. For now, I have chosen two resolutions that I intend to stick by. They mean a lot to me. The first one is to read through the Bible in one year. I have never been able to commit to getting through it in one year. So I want to commit to it. The second will come to pass with help from reading through the Bible. In general, I want to get closer to God, more than I have ever been.

Committing to these resolutions is possible. It's just going to take a lot of discipline, habit forming and persistence.
