I am a serious creature of habit. It drives Cara crazy because I am either super serious about something (diet, exercise, you name it) or the complete opposite, one or the other, no middle ground. As I think about how bad my habits are now with eating terrible and basically a non-existent workout plan, part of my goal for this blog is so I can start to think about what I am going to do better in 2012 and what type of good habits I can try to create.
On a Spiritual goal note, yesterday I sent my daily bible verse text out to some of the youth group at Grace Community Nazarene Church in lovely Spring Hill, KS, and issued a challenge to any of them who were interested. For the past few months, I've been texting a verse or two every day as an attempt to get the youth to get in the habit of opening their bible (or finding it on their phone) and read at least one verse every day. So, I thought I'd turn up the volume a little bit and issue a little bolder challenge to them for next year since I've had a great response to the daily reminder I've been giving. Our Bible reading challenge for 2012 is to read the bible daily and to read the entire New Testament during the year. As with any good habit or challenge like this, accountability is huge and as much as I want to see a bunch of the youth group read the whole New Testament, I need it just as bad.
Now is the time to be thinking about and setting goals for 2012, rather than waiting for January 1st to throw some things together that probably won't stick.
