What are some of your new years resolutions? I know people make them every year and by the second week of January they are pretty much all but forgotten but I want to hear yours!
Mine are
1) Get my GED: I had to be home schooled due to some birth defects and I never received my HS diploma, I've put it off long enough, I'm going to do everything I can to get my GED by Spring!
2) Lose about 50lbs: These past 7 or so years have been extremely stressful for me and I've packed on about 50 excess pounds, I want to be 110 by this time next year.
3) Make new friends: I had to be pulled out of HS in 9th grade because of some health issues, I kept in touch with most of my friends for about a year and then they all went off and did their own things, I haven't had a friend since then. I worked up the nerve to send one of them a message on FB back in April, we sent about three messages back and forth and then I sent one and they never responded back. I can't describe how bad that hurt me, it took everything I had to make contact with them in the first place, and then they just leave me hanging like that, at least tell me you don't want to talk, you know? I don't know why they wouldn't, I've never been anything but kind to them.
4) Quit worrying about what everyone else is doing: I made a HUGE step today, I've had a FB for several years but I never use it to talk to people, I just log on everyday (sometimes several times a day) just to see what everyone is doing. It's become incredible depressing seeing everyone get married and having kids and living great lives (or so they want you to believe) and I'm just sitting here doing nothing. So I deleted my FB today. I'm washing my hands of my past and that's a big part of it. I'm so proud of myself.
5) This is the biggest one, I want to have a strong connection to God: My brother lost his best friend in a car accident several weeks ago and it really woke me up to the fact that we really are not promised our next breath, and in the weeks since I have prayed every night and asked God for guidance and in the first time in a long time (maybe ever) I really feel God around me, guiding me. I really want to form a strong relationship with Him in 2015.
Sorry for the long post, but I believe in the saying that if you put it out there, what you're going to do, you're more likely to stick with it and see it through. I really feel like 2015 is going to be an amazing year, I hope yours is amazing too!
