thinking about the new year

David Crowder sings a song called "Wholly Yours". I finally bought it on iTunes. I love that song...the music, the lyrics, the message, everything. Pretty much it's voicing a prayer saying that I want to be holy like He is Holy...that I want to be wholly His. Not all of me except this one area...I want to keep that one, but me in my whole-ness. I'm going to be honest...I haven't let God in every single detail or hole that I have in me. I want to make that my prayer this year as it begins. One of my main "resolutions" is to make Him famous through my life, my actions, my words, and to meet with Him daily. I know that once I do that, the world has no place to go in me. It can't get in, therefore it can't come out! I want to be a better, more Christ-like leader in church, at home, at work...everywhere. I can't do that if I'm not in His Word seeking what it's like to be a leader. Being a leader means serving others. The word "leadership" had been on my heart since the new year began. I want to be a better care group leader to our girls. I want to be a better supervisor at work. One thing that I've learned being a leader at work is that EVERYONE looks up to you whether you're doing something good or bad. People mainly remember you for the bad things you do. I want to turn that around and have people remember me as a Christ-follower...a sinner saved by grace...but still a sinner. It's going to be hard, but if I have the Spirit living in me I can do anything! I already have a not-so-great reputation at work and that's gonna take a long time to turn around. But I am willing. If you read this, please keep me accountable. May you have a blessed day!
