New Year’s Resolutions

Well we are almost a week into the new year. How many of you made a new year resolution? How many of you have already failed at your new year’s resolution? I am not sure how many give up on their resolution in the first week. However, by February it is reported that 80% of people quit. For me the question is, what is it that we make resolutions about?

I read several lists of new year’s resolutions. According to the website, https://www.goskills.com/Soft-Skills/Articles/Top-10-new-years-resolutions, here are the top 10 New Year’s Resolutions:

1) Exercise more

2)Lose weight

3) Get organized

4) Learn a new skill or hobby

5) Live life to the fullest

6) Save more money / spend less money

7) Quit smoking

8) Spend more time with family and friends

9) Travel more

10) Read more

Like I said, I read through several lists. Even some lists that had 40 or more suggestions. However, none of those lists had proposals about a person’s spiritual life. There was no mention about getting in touch with Jesus or a higher power. There was no mention about developing a more vulnerable relationship with God or a higher power. There was no mention about wanting to pray. There was no mention about wanting to read the bible or other religious/religions books. There was no mention about wanting to wrestle with a person doubts about spiritual issues. There was simply nothing that I could find about a person’s spiritual life.

If you find that still small tug or whisper or itch about wanting to explore your spiritual life or go deeper into the love of God or your higher power send me an email. I would love to talk with you.
