My plans for this year include several to-do items, changes I want to implement and habits I want to change. Above all, I want to live this year by faith.

To have faith that God will provide, and that his grace is sufficient for me. Not by my own might, but by His. I want to trust in the Lord fully. My best investment ever will be to put my hope in God.
“For I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” – Jeremiah 29:11

Aside from whether I manage to accomplish them, here are my New Year Resolutions for 2009:
1. To have more love in my life, and not be so jaded anymore
2. To make conscious effort to bring a blessing to someone at least once a month
3. To learn German
4. To practice more golf
5. To have a more balanced lifestyle
6. To not take things for granted
7. To take better care of my health
8. To be humble and not complacent or proud
9. To have more patience and compassion for those in need.

I know that I am truly blessed.
