Once again, it’s the time of new year’s resolutions being made everywhere. Can you believe it?! Well, I also have a couple of set resolutions for the 2010 that’s lying in wait just around the corner… like making more time for silence in my life. God doesn’t compete with all the noise in and around me. I realize that I have to hear Him on his terms, not mine, in the new year. That’s why I would love to be still and quiet more often in the new year, to get to know the Lord better.

Another resolution — I don’t want to send or answer any nasty emails or text messages during 2010. It’s an unnecessary waste of energy to try and argue with those who believe that they know better, or with those who are always the only correct ones. In the new year, I also don’t want to fret about some road users furiously chasing around just to win 2 minutes of saved time, and 2 hours of higher blood pressure as “reward”. Finally, I want to live all of 2010 at the ‘today-speed’ — one day at a time. I reckon that’s just about fast enough.
