A New Year and lots of goals!

Too much time goes by before I get myself back on my blog to record my thoughts and feelings about things. In the sermon at church yesterday, the pastor talked about Joseph and his side of the story. Not alot is known about him but the pastor focused on these three major things about Joseph. He was the one to give Jesus his name. According to the pastor, women were the ones to name the baby. Jesus name means the Lord of Salvation. Wow, didn't know that one. There is a lot to what you are named. Joseph also was a righteous man which wasn't too common. Being righteous is being in a right relationship with God. Joseph was also obedient. The angel told him what to do and he did it. The pastor said something that in particular stood out to me, "we have to create a pattern of obedience". That keeps coming into my mind especially with this new year. The new year you always want to start something to improve who you are. This may seem so trivial but last year after seeing the dentist in January and hearing once again you must floss, I finally made the choice to committ myself to flossing everyday and you know what I only missed one day in the whole rest of the year! Everything is about a choice so now I am making another choice to get on my blog everyday and write. Get it out! Help myself process feelings or figure out things. They say journaling is very good for this among other things so this is it. I am making the choice to come and write everyday. I have to create a pattern. I think I will do it at my lunch hour when my brain is still working and not pooped out. So, what will you choose to start this new year to better yourself?
