What better way to begin the new year than with a brand new blog? Ok. That’s perhaps one of the most trivial ways to start a brand new year but bear with me will you.
I suppose many of you would be making new year resolutions. I find myself trying to think of some I can set for myself but soon I realise I’m doing it just because it’s the norm. Can we really set goals that will be relevant and applicable throughout an entire year?
As contradictory as it sounds, I do have one so-called goal, and that is to let God guide me and let Him be the one who sets my goals.
To a non-christian, this is probably really silly and as a scientist would put it, intangible. How can I possibly know what God wants me to accomplish or achieve when He seemingly doesn’t exist or is too important to talk to a wee tiny (figuratively speaking, but fine, physically as well) little fallen being like myself?
Through this goal, I hope to achieve another – to open my heart more and be ever-ready to listen to the prompting voice of the Holy Spirit. This encompasses actually studying the bible rather than just reading, and praying with actual conviction, something I of so little faith find it hard to do many a time.
So there. That’s my goal for the new year. Not made because it’s the normal or in thing to do but because there is a burning need and passion in my heart for this little straying sheep to return to her Shepherd.
Have a very blessed and God-filled year 2008 everyone! (:
