HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!… I know, I know, at first glance it may appear I’m about a month and an half late. But really when does the New Year get old? Right now 2010 is still just an adolescent.

I love the New Year. The New Year is an excuse to start over, to change things, to do some things better and to stop doing some things. One thing I’ve realized about New Year’s Resolutions is the more realistic and measurable they are, the more attainable they are.

For example: Instead of me resolving to lose 50lbs, I will resolve to work out 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes. That’s realistic and measurable.

To add another layer of security, not only did I make my resolution realistic and measurable, but I put it in my schedule. The plan was to play basketball for a couple hours on Monday nights, and then do Wii Fit (don’t laugh, you can seriously get a decent work out from it) after work on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Rolling my ankle at basketball kind of threw a wrench into that plan. But it will be reinstated soon enough.

And finally, to insure that I was following through on my resolution, I told my wife. It was her job to keep me accountable. And if there’s anyone that wants me to lose weight more than I do, it’s her.

So now, let’s all apply what we learned. Check back over the next few days to see how we can apply these 3 steps to our walk with God.

In my last post I wrote about how it was the end of a decade, but it’s also the beginning of a new one. So, here’s to ten years of a closer walk with God.
