Focusing on finding a way through the new year sans resolutions
Come January first it seems everyone is making resolutions
for the new year. Be it losing weight, traveling, reading more or breaking bad
habits, the hopes of 2013 are swirling about like the confetti in Times Square.
Replace the confetti with snow and pine needles, and somewhere amongst these ideas stands a college girl
unsure of how she wants to tackle the choices that lie ahead. That girl is of
course, me.
On New Year’s Eve I was asked what my resolutions were; a
typical question to which I stumbled to find a suitable answer. What my
frazzled brain responded with were two things that I honestly do wish to see
happen in 2013 - read my Bible all the way through once again, and save money for my ensuing post-graduation life.
As soon as the words passed my lips I knew that they weren't quite enough. There is so much more that I hope to see out of the year.
The Lord used 2012 to create personal growth and new perspective within me, and I simply cannot let 2013 pass without intentionally working on ways to continue that work.
Countless prayers asked what in my life needed change or improvement and for hours my brain chased rabbits in attempts to find a creative way to do so. At long last I came to the conclusion that what my life needs is discovery. Discovery of new people, experiences, fears, realities and challenges. I have finally come to a point where I am in love with life and can see that there are endless points of fascination surrounding me, so now it's time to discover them.
I will be blogging about these discoveries and life in general throughout the year in hopes that come next New Year's Eve this year's discoveries will have prepared me to be a fearless and passionate woman of God. Going along with these blog posts will be daily Instagram photos with the hashtag, #discoveringsarahjane.
