Anyone making a resolution for 2013 they'd care to share?

Just one for me. When the temptation arises to become jealous as I compare my life to others, I choose to take that thought captive and let this thought free in it's place: I "love my neighbor as myself" and I rejoice and give thanks for the way God/Love is manifesting good in our experience.

Rejoice with those who rejoice... Rom 12:15

Thanks for sharing Pleroo. I have a few and a couple have to do with eating healthier and cutting down on spending. I really want to focus on developing these fruits of the Spirit, faith and joy, this year, by trusting in God fully in all things and by focusing on the promises of God and the changes that He has brought about in my life and and continues to bring about in this walk with Him. Keeping eyes off of past failures and focusing on the power of God to work in me, is another goal. And I want to continue to share the belief and great expectation of the eventual restoration of all people to God through Jesus, with others in the faith, as God allows. God bless and Happy New Year!

Am really going to try to make every day a challenge to eat healthier, exercise often. I pray I will overcome some personal bitterness and anger that has gripped my heart..It is time for me to forgive and let the past go, before it destroys the future.

Prayers for a blessed New Year Pleroo and Shana and may all your goals be met>

Default New Year's resolutions, anyone?

I resolve to "love God and each other" daily and repent when I don't. Everything else will be what it will be. I hope I can enjoy each and every one of my friends on this forum for another year . . . and that they and theirs prosper in all they do in Christ's love. I love you guys.

Went to church New Years eve meeting , and the Prophets of the Lord were saying that ``2013 will not be a bad year with the number 13 Jesus does not see 13 , and the past has seen some hard times for people , as Jesus is going to bring restoration to the people for 2013....``.............. See here is a resolution for people to believe in faith as Jesus will bring restoration to bring back health that may be getting hard, or bring back those people who have left the church , or bring back jobs that people believing have lost ...and other areas where people have lost things , like the book of Job were Job lost everything , then after God brought Him restoration to His life ......See here is a resolution from Jesus , where Jesus requires that people believe this in faith and expectation of hope to receive is required

I plan to read through and make a running commentary on the Bible on my blog.

The goal is to get myself and my family (and anyone else) a cliff note version of the proper context of the whole Bible. I don't want it to be a substitute for the Bible, but just a help to understand what's going on.

I am considering posting the contents here also.
