2003 Goals and resolutions

[cdouglas76]

Greetings all,

I usually take the time each year to develop a worthwhile project or a goal to accomplish. Many people in my life (mostly my grandfather) have taught me the joys of giving and how it truly is better to give than to recieve. One of the greatest gifts we have, second to salvation of course, is that of wealth and freedom. Anyone who has a home in the United States, a computer, and a baptist board account is doing pretty well for themselves. I make it a point to always thank God for these things. Why? because a lot of the world lives in poverty. There's a whole other world out there that would count our lifestyles as being rich. We can't even imagine what its like, because we've never lived that way.

I want to read the bible everyday. Spend time with my Father. I also want to write a non-ficition book on an aspect of Christianity(any suggestions?).

 

[cdouglas76]

Yes, the power of giving.

I'm looking for volunteers that would like to team up and help build this project. If anyone is interested please contact me at: cdouglas76@netzero.com

Thanks and God Bless

To get through school and read the million books I ordered over the last month or so.

Seriously, everybody says it, but I would like to lose weight. Specifically 10 lbs., and get toned.

 

[Mr.Cheese]

You look fine in your pic. Don't get too skinny.
Why do all girls seem to think they're overweight?

 

[IslandBreeze]

I don't think I'm overweight. I want to get toned. When I was a cheerleader, I was toned, and I weighed about 10lbs less than what I do now. I don't like not being in shape.

 

[Mr.Cheese]

Heh, I totally know what you mean. Since I stopped working on cars I feel like a blob. I have gained 40 pounds since august. Luckily I was skinny, but I need to do something like exercise or something. Man. Being 30 sucks.

Cheese,

Age is what you make of it.  After all it's only a number.  It really doesn't define who you are as a person.  (I keep telling myself that, as I'm turning 30 in 6 months!   LOL!) .  I had my "freak out" session when I turned 29, so I think I'll be okay when the big 30 hits!   

 

My New Year's resolution?  It's to write more letters (much more personal than emails) and like 99.9% of us, to get in shape!  LOL!

i've heard of that, Chris, in fact, several people from my church are supporting it, what a worthy project! i'd be glad to help when i get a job and have my own credit card though right now, i gotta settle with having a closer walk with God this year, though that... is no small task either.

 

[GirlReborn]

My goal is to read the Bible daily, even if just for ten minutes, to develop some friendships with other Christians in my area and to try to do something good for society like volunteer work at least every few weeks.

 

[Mr.Cheese]

Saucegirl,
30 was a huge bummer for me. Plus 30 happened during recovering from a severe bout with depression. That didn't help. What really eats at me is all the time I have wasted. I'm 30 and have done nothing with my life. That hits like a ton of bricks. I'm desperately trying to play catch up.
Age...yeah, I hang out in the teen room on this board and they haven't kicked me out!
I guess they put up with me out of kindness for the elderly.

I have 3 resolutions, they are:

1. To work harder at college, therefore passing and gaining the knowledge i need to have to be a teacher, i'm attending every class and handing in assignments in on time.

2. Trying to get fit. If i happen to lose weight while getting fit then YAY for me, but to lose weight isn't my motivation for getting fit!

3. to build a relationship with God, i only became a Christian in the New Year so this is one that i would really like to achieve. Also finding a church to go to would be nice!!

I'm not really good at keeping my resolutions but i'm going to try very hard this year because i really would like to succeed at everything i do.

 

[Mr.Cheese]
