So many resolutions are developed during the post-Christmas stretch of the year. Resolutions, in an of themselves, are not bad things. They are the result of people taking a look at their lives and determining they need to do better. The thing we must keep in perspective is expectation. Our expectations have to come with purpose. You can't just want to lose weight to look better. Your desire to lose weight should be motivated by the need to develop a healthier lifestyle, not just to be better-looking. The way you view yourself (or self-concept) comes from within.
Subsequently, our HUMP Day mission this week is "resolution"-based one. Write a vision and plan to coordinate or participate in some outreach activities in the new year. Get friends, family, and/or prayer partners to help you. Like we previously mentioned, let your expectation be to please God, not to be noticed. Let's show our community His love still exists, not try to convince them that we're a great church. Remember it's His glory, not ours. Try to plan an activity for children, and another one for adults. I pray the Holy Spirit will guide you. And please remember, no effort is too large or small. God bless you. Let's have another awesome year.
