Resolute

i thought resolutions were dumb. they never worked. then i thought, why not try? why not give myself some grace for last year and start some new things? why not try. and then in church on sunday, in korea, the pastor preached about good resolutions. philippians 4:8- finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. and then the book i was reading, radical, had five things to do for a year. pray for the entire world, read through the entire Word, commit my life to a multiplying community, sacrifice money for a purpose, give time in another context. so i made some resolutions for this year.

i want to be generous. 

i want to live my life with joy.

i want to be more graceful in the way i relate to people.

and i want to do the five things from the radical experiment. 

i'm working on making an actual plan, so i actually do these things.
