To resolute or not to resolute...........

I   don't  like  making  New  years  resolutions,  because  I generally   keep  very  few  of  them,  as  can  be  seen  from the  fact  that I  have  not  blogged  in over  two  weeks,  I  rest  my case,  I  did  decide  however  to  try......  being the  operative  word.......  to  be  a  better  person.    I  have  chosen  a  bible  verse  and  a  song  that  will be  my theme  for  2012,  and  decided  on a  few "key" areas  that  I  want  to  work, on......  need  to  work  on......  so  I  thought  I  would  share  with  you  all  so  that  you  can be my policemen  and  hold  me  accountable.

My  bible  verse  that  I was  drawn  to  for  this  year,  for  me  i  just  really says  it  all,  hope,  strength  and joy,  what  more  would  I  need

Isaiah 60:1

"Arise,  shine,  for your  light has  come, and the glory of the  Lord rises upon you

My  song  for  the  year about  relying  on God  and  not  trying  to do  things  on my own,  how  many of  us  are  guilty  of  that.....


A group  I  was  introduced  to  by Penny.....  thanks  Penny........  
Tenth Avenue North - By Your Side

Why are  you  striving  these  days

Why are  your  trying  to earn grace

Why are  you  crying

Let me lift up your face

Just don't turn away

Why are  you  looking for  love

Why are  you still searching as if I'm not enough

To where will you go my child

Tell me where you run

To where  will you run

Cause I'll be by your side

Whenever you fall

In the dead of night

Whenever you call

And please don't fight

Those hands that are holding you

My hands are  holding you

Look at these hands and my side

They swallowed the grave on that night

When I drank the worlds sin

So I could carry you in

And give you, life

I want to give you life

I  spent  the  second  week  of  January  doing  the  Daniel  Fast,  an  amazing  experience,  it  is  during  this  time  that  I had  a  few  "light bulb"  moments.  I  wanted  to  do  it  for  a  full  21  days,  but  after  the 7th  day  of  headaches,  I could  just  not  go on.

Message  number  One......... 
You  need  to  change  yourself  as  you  cannot  change  anyone  else...........

"I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change"

 Message  number  Two........................

 
Volunteer more:   The  bible  says  that  if  you  are  a  true  Christ  follower  that    we  need  to   our  neighbour  as  we  love  ourselves,  there  is just  so much  need  am  I  really doing  enough.
