Every year, I try to make a resolution of sorts to be better than I was the year before. I want to be different. I really want to be different. I want to be more than I am today. I want to be more than what I think I can be. I want to be all that God has created me to be. I want to choose love, not bitterness. I want to choose good, not evil. I want choose kindness, not selfishness. I want to choose mercy, not revenge. I really want to be different.
So, as I have done for several years, I've asked God to make me over. I don't want to be the same old me I was last year....I want to be more for my Father. I want to be willing to do whatever it is God has planned for me this day, this week, this year. I want to be different. I'm going to my Savior and asking that He will mold me and make me better than I was last year, better than I was yesterday, better than I am today....to make me different because I can't do it using my own power. I need the touch of the Lord to make me different...to make me a new vessel willing to pour out His love to everyone I come in contact with daily. This year I choose to surrender to God, so that I can truly be different.

Me and you both, Becky. Your post sounds a lot like things I've thought about the last few weeks and months.
The best new years resolution (or every day resolution) any of us can make is to be more Christ-like.
Thanks for saying what I'm thinking.

Oh Becky, you have captured such a desire of my heart...resolutions are always easy to make, harder to keep and do they really help us become more like Christ? Your honesty and ability to put it into words is a gift. May we all be different....
