I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions.

I believe that if you want to make a change in your life, that there shouldn't be a time designated in which to make it. Particularly because you inevitably set yourself up to fail. It's like when I was in middle school and a teacher would give me books to read, and I would never read them. Not because I didn't love to read (and still do), but because someone was making me do it. So, I'm making today, November 30, my day of resolutions.

-I want to love my God more. I'm not saying I don't love him now, but there are things in my life that I show way more love to on a daily basis than I show Him. I want to be hungry for knowledge of Him, talk with Him more, and talk ABOUT Him more. Spread the love of Christ with the people I know and the people I don't.
-Give. The first things that come to mind when you talk about giving is time and money. Being 23 with two jobs means that I don't have a lot of either of those things, but what I do have, I want to give with my whole heart.
-Love. And by that I mean love people that I wouldn't normally try to love. We all have those people in our lives that we just don't understand and may not even like. But we still need to treat them with the respect that they deserve.

There are more things I could put down, and probably will as the ideas come to me. But the point of all of this is to say that it doesn't have to be January 1 for you to start making changes in your life. Start now.
