Happy 2012!
Everyone has heard of the infamous New Years' Resolutions that usually include exercising, eating right, and learning a new thing. I am one of those people who do things like that.
My 2012 New Years Resolutions (some of them)
#1 Participate in a 5K. (I am not really a runner, but I want to be. Even though I hate it.)
#2 Eat healthier (of course) But more importantly, less sugar and more organic foods.
#3 Make a new friend
#4 Go on a missions trip - one to Nicaragua sounds like it may happen
#5 Read my Bible and pray regularly (One of those good ones that I should be doing anyway!)
#6 Write a book. Or a rough draft of a book. Or a piece of a book. One long in the making...
#7 Get a job
#8 Learn Spanish
There are many more, but it gets overwhelming. There is SO much I want to do, especially since I'm done with college!
As for that, so far I've only heard that my Request for Graduation was received. I am now eagerly awaiting approval for graduation... which is supposed to be March 2nd.
On another note, with the amount of time on my hands, I have started an extensive reading list. Mostly instigated by the example of these brothers and their inspirational book and movement "Do Hard Things".
I now have copied their reading list and have 53 books waiting for me.
The first two I have just received from our library: "Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin, and "What Jesus Demands from the World" by John Piper. The latter one I just started. It is very deep, and honestly I've never read a book like this before. The YA doesn't really cover those, sadly. But I am going to try to grow my mind, as the Harris brothers did, and become a teen with a greater grasp of our world!
Looking ahead to the New Year :)
