Looking back on my 2006 resolutions

Last year on this day I did something I generally don’t do: I listed out some resolutions.

It’s only right that I go back over them again and see how I did.

. . . . . . . . . .

7 things I want to do in 2006:

1. Find a new place of service in my church – Done! Jill and I began working last January with the young singles at our church, and our ministry there continues.

2. Get into a regular writing routine on my novel – Dismally failed . . .

3. Lose weight – Mixed. I lost eighteen pounds this year. But I’m pretty sure I’ve gained it all back

4. Record a family CD on ProTools – To be frank, I completely forgot about this one. My daughters and I sometimes talk about this, and my oldest son has done some recording. But I’d have to mark this one “not done”.

5. Release Bloo into the public domain – Done! I released it in March last year. Currently, Bloo is being used by about a dozen blogs. I have more goals for it this year, but that’s a topic for another post.

6. Love God more – Hard to quantify. I hope so. I know, though, that my love for Him is miniscule compared to His love for me.

7. Have my blogging become more of a ministry – I don’t think I did much on this score.

8. Work harder at work – Toward the middle and end of the year I think I accomplished this – largely because I got a new boss :-).

9. Pray more – I think, on the whole, that I accomplished this goal. But not if you count the last month or two, in which my prayer-life has been somewhat stagnant. And, we have to keep this in perspective: “more” is a relative term.

There were a lot more categories of “what I’ll change in 2006” in the post last year besides just the resolutions listed above. But I don’t think I have the heart to post them at the moment. It’s time to look forward.

*sigh*
