New Year

Now is the time everyone is thinking of their New Year resolutions. Many people want to lose weight, exercise more, eat healthier, drink less, blah blah blah.
I personally do not like new year's resolutions. I find them to be very fake. There are very few people who actually keep their resolution for the entire year. Those people I admire, it takes discipline, and I lack discipline.
So this year I do want to make some changes. I want to be more disciplined. I want to be held accountable. I further my study of God's word.
I am starting this blog is hopes of reaching the people I love and meeting new people. The world wide web is a very large place with so many individuals to relate to on different levels all over the world. I am excited. My hope is that having this blog will help keep me accountable to God, myself and those around me.
To further my study of the Bible, I have started the guideline in my MacArthur study bible to read the bible in a year. It lays out when you need to read what and how many chapters. These first few days have been a challenge just to stay up and read and getting up early enough to read as well. My prayer that in doing this, my relationship with Christ will grow and my knowledge of Him. I also pray that my prayer life would increase.
So for this blog I want to try to at least do 2 a month for starters. If I do more then great but I want to give myself a minimum and have it in writing to reference back to. That's how I stay accountable.
