one word
last year i discovered that lots of people in the world are bored of new years resolutions.
i also am bored with them.
they mostly just make me feel bad about myself.
not to say we shouldn’t ever make goals and not to say that the point of life is to just feel great about yourself…but at the end of the day, resolutions rarely work to change my life for the better.
so i did something that i found lots of other folks in the world, at least on the internet, doing…instead of making lists of resolutions, they chose a word. you can read more about it here
one word.
this word was supposed to be the thrust of who they desired to be in the year to come. and so this year my word is:
[i put it one some paper and hung it on my office wall so i can't escape it.]
i’m pretty stoked about learning to be and discovering what it looks like for me to be brave.
not because i’m a strong, good looking knight riding in on a white horse to save the day, i’m thinking less Disney classics, and more like king david.
i want to bravely follow Jesus this year.
i want people to look at me and not see seth. i want people to see a man after God’s own heart.
i want to be brave for my students (my kids), and my almost wife, and i just mostly want God to look at me and smile because i’m learning to let Him take away any hint of fear in my life and create me into the man that He’s been asking me to be for quite some time now.
