Reflections and Resolutions

A new year is upon us.  A time to reflect on the past year and resolve to change in the new year.  Many of my reflections can be seen in past blogs, but I am going to write about them anyway and process through them again. 

Reflections on 2013

• A year of trying new things and loving all of them...running, blogging, learning some piano and guitar.
• The year that I fought a battle with fear and WON!
• A year of looking for joy in the journey and not always in reaching the finish line.
• A year filled with looking inward and praying that God would show me how I needed to change.
• A year focused on relationships (I guess that could be every year of my life!) and becoming a better wife, mom, and friend.
• A year of good choices, growing up, and letting go of junk.

Resolutions for 2014

• 2014 is going to be a year of more and less...read on!
• More Jesus and less Dawn!
• More love and less fear!
• More outward focus and less inward focus!
• More prayer and less worrying!
• More Bible and less other stuff!
• More running and less stress (and hopefully literally less me)!
• More music and less noise!

That's just the beginning!  I'm betting the more and less list will increase as the year goes on.  I challenge you to reflect on your own victories in 2013 and to look with intention to 2014.  Happy New Year!
