Resolutions

Even when we seem to be having a great time, when all seems well we have to remember that it may just be the surface. Our lives are multi-faceted and there is always more going on than meets the eye. Everyone is like that, and we all have different boundaries and levels of boundaries.

There are some things that I have never shared with anyone, and may never share. Things about me that no one (aside from God of course) needs to know. But I also have a few select friends that know a whole heck of a lot, but each of them knows something a little bit different.

Making friends and learning to feel comfortable around new people and learning to open up to them is not always the easiest thing for everybody to do. We don't know if this person we just met is worthy of our trust. Yet, the ironic thing is that only by trusting them and sharing and seeing what they do with that can we learn if they are worthy.

I was talking to a friend this weekend while on my little jaunt South to see family and friends. As I was talking to him I realized something about myself. As a Christian I am always trying to be a better reflection of Christ, a more obedient child of God. As I realized what I did, I knew I wanted to do something about it. So I resolved to work on being less indecisive, and to be a better steward of the time God has given me by thinking through my decisions and then sticking with them, no matter how inconsequential (I'm thinking of the french fry incident) they seem.

The way I see it, why waste time waiting till New Year's to improve yourself and to become more like Christ (He probably would never say No to some hot, fresh fries)? So that is what I've done. I'm going to make my decisions quicker (though prayfully) and stick with them. I hate being indecisive it is dumb.
