It's a new year and that always draws my thoughts to the kind of changes I would like to see take place in my life. New Year's resolutions often seem so wonderful and grand when I first make them. then time passes and life gets in the way and it completely overshadows them to the point that they disappear.
I don't know why, but I know that 2012 is a very special yer. I want to live my live each day as if this were going to be my last year alive. I feel a dramatic sense of urgency to be prepared to meet my Savior. I can't seem to be able to stop thinking about how critical this year is going to be for me in many different ways.
I have been in prison for over a year. It is tough and challenging, but I have grown immensely and I am truly grateful for this "time-out." I still feel that I can be doing more, that I could have worked harder and done more.
I have to keep reminding myself that my Heavenly Father doesn't care about what I perceive my results are as much as He cares about my efforts. All He wants from me is to try with all my heart, might, mind and strength. I know I can do that, even if I doubt what good it would do.
I have promised myself to re-engage myself in the quest to becoming "Spiritually Centered." I know this is the key for me and no matter what happens, I am going to invest myself 100% That is my #1 resolution...become spiritually centered. I know that the true success of all my other resolutions depend on this one.
I ask for all of your prayers and you will have mine. I pray that this year we will all place a greater emphasis on keeping ourselves spiritually centered, so that we might be able to hear the whispering of the Spirit clearly and consistently.
If we can hear, we can obey.
