new year's goals

i am not one to make new year's resolutions...partly because i think they are lame and partly because i know i will never keep them.  so, this year i decided to make goals for a new year.  goals that i hope to work on the entire year.  as i was thinking about some new goals the Lord reminded me of a passage:

"through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.  they are new every morning, great is your faithfulness.  the Lord is my portion says my soul, therefore i hope in Him!  the Lord is good to those who wait upon Him, to the soul who seeks Him."

Lamentations 3:22-25 

His mercies are new every morning-that means each day is a new start with God!  no matter how badly i have failed Him (or myself) the day before-i always wake up and have the opportunity of a fresh start.  what a wonderful promise from our Lord.  His compassions NEVER fail!  they are new every morning.

so, here they are, in no real particular order:

1.  read my Bible and pray more

2.  spend more time with girls and not worry about all that needs to be done

3.  show mark how much i love him

4.  give more...time, $, etc????

5.  get involved with missions

6.  get back on work out schedule

7.  eat more salad and veggies

8.  spend less money

9.  reach out to friends

10.  play guitar more

11.  pray for girls more specifically

12.  share gospel with others more boldly

13.  memorize scripture

i am sure the list will grow over time and i'd like to revisit it often, but now, i'll stick with my initial list.  so, what are your goals???  

happy new year!
