Happy New Year…… I’m a little late at saying that but it’s only the 7th so I think it can slide. How was your last year? Mine was a flash but this year will be different. Just like every other year right? No, I really hope this year is different. I really did not like last year. It had to be done but it was not fun. The only redemption came over the holidays and I am very thankful for that. But regardless it kinda sucked. This year will be different. But what will I do to make it different? I have a laundry list of items that need attention but the biggest thing will be intentionality. Is that a word? I’ll have to ask someone I guess but it explains what I mean to say. I really want to work on being intentional with my prayer life. I want to talk to my heavenly father because I can. I want to be intentional with my Bible time; not just my morning reading but evening with the family and also making sure my family is doing well with theirs. I want to be very intentional with my marriage; It is a bond created by God and something no man can break. My wife is my best friend and I want to grow that bond even more. I want to be intentional with my children; I need to play with them more . I need to teach them more. I need to discipline them more when it’s needed because I love them and want the best for them. I need to be intentional with my friendships and extended family. I need to be intentional with my work and personal business. Money, health……. The list goes on and I have a lot of work ahead of me. But I want this year to truly be different.
Thanks for reading and God bless.

Sounds very similar to my own desires for 2019.

I think it’s easy to get discouraged when we don’t achieve our goals but it’s good to realise that we can have the same goals every year and by God’s grace we will take small bites of a life long goal. Sanctification comes to mind.
