I'm a little late on the whole
New Year's resolution thing, but I've decided to dedicate 2014 to trying new
things. Doesn't sound very original or
exciting, but it has already made a big difference in my life! So far this year I have tried sushi (which
I've always been a bit afraid of), started a blog, surpassed my high score of 3
in Flappy Bird (haha) and said yes to multiple opportunities that, in the past,
I would've hesitated about agreeing to.
I'm reading new (and old) books, I'm opening myself up to new ideas and
knowledge about life and the world and the Bible, I want to learn more and know more and I
don't want to miss out on anything that God has in store for me. How will I ever experience His amazing plan
if I never open myself up to all of the wonderful things and people and places
He has placed in this world around me?
"Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17) How exciting is
that?! I feel like putting together a
party in celebration of this verse because it's such an amazing thing... God
has made me NEW! The old has GONE, the
new has COME! It inspires me to stop
living my life the safe way and start getting out there and experiencing all
there is to offer. Yes, this could lead to
scary or intimidating situations (not life threatening or anything, I'm not
ready to be that adventurous yet haha), but I feel like so many good things and
beautiful moments will come out of it, as well.
So here's to living my 18th year of
life with the mindset of being open to anything and everything the Lord has to
offer. I know that it won't always be
easy, but it will definitely be amazing (:
