On New Year's Resolutions

January 11th, 2009. I have already botched up many of my New Year's resolutions. In fact, I can't even remember some of them! I'll have to return to the blog in which I posted the resolutions and retrieve them from there. What have I struggled with the most?

What do you think?


All things related to eating and exercising. Oh yeah, and the one about only eating sweets once a month. I have kept up with reading, for the most part. I haven't blogged every day though, nor have I written creatively as I would like.

Oh look! I found them...

• Read every day. The Bible as well as the book schedule I have already implemented. (Not doing so badly on this one)
• Exercise 30 minutes a day five times a day. (Hahaha)
• Eat healthy - minimize sweets to once a month. (Hehehe)
• Let go and let God... (Hmm...)
• Get Nathanial on a sleeping/eating schedule. For real this time. (Teeheehee...he didn't make the same resolutions I did!)
• Write. (Not too behind on this)
• Blog daily. (I'm sorry...I've goofed on this one too...)
• Let go and let God... (Huh?)
• Limit TV viewing. In short: Lost, The Office, Jon and Kate Plus 8, and any TLC show that is of particular interest, such as, Half Man Half Tree or anything involving dwarfism. (Okay, look, there is a transgendered person on The Real World. How can I pass that up?)
• LET GO AND LET GOD...(Sara clears throat)

I've got a long way to go on this list. I think what happens to so many people with resolutions is that once they have slipped, they think they have failed and will never succeed. I am SO one of these people too. Especially on the Let go and Let God part. Is that ever going to happen? Can I ever TRULY give myself over to Him? Do I really have the discipline to be as healthy as I want to be? Can I give up the TV addiction?

I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me. I guess I need to let go and give all of this to Him, trusting Him to guide me through making the right decisions.
