“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” ~ Ephesians 2:10
I’ve never been very successful with New Year’s resolutions in the past, but I’m really wanting to approach 2011 with purpose and direction.
I’ve seen the idea of a having a single word for the year, but my desires seem much too broad for just one word.
I think I’ve found a good fit in the idea of a theme for the year that Steve Scanlon at Reality and Hope proposes in his article Thematic Resolve.
My theme for 2011?
Just Do It.
I can envision this little phrase applying in so many areas of my life that I’ve felt I didn’t have enough time, energy, intelligence, resources, whatever, to accomplish.
From getting rid of the junk in my closets and drawers, to exercise, to Bible study, to enriching relationships, to expanding my blogging, to continuing to pursue my love for photography, whatever, these 3 words could be the catalyst to an amazing year.
Three little words partnered with the verse above? What a sense of the power of God for my life! They give me an excited anticipation to head into the New Year.
So here’s to 2011. Whether it’s a resolution or a word or a theme, I encourage you give some thought to your vision for 2011.
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” ~ Ephesians 3:20-21
His blessing to you all this coming year.
