2009 New Year Resolutions

In the midest of all the nosies of all the people who are getting ready to count down 5 minutes more to the new year, here I am here sitting in front of my lap top decided to blog about my new year resolution. Despite going out with the long queue of guys from where I am now till JB, I still decided to stay home and write my new year resolution. That's how important it is! (Yeah right!)

Anyway I know that I wont be able to finish it by tonight because I have a retarded brain that cannot work that fast and I am morning shift tomorrow but I better jot down some points before my flame goes out.

1. Answer God's call promptly.
God's call comes and goes. When a calling from God comes, you will know that it is from Him. If dont act on it, it will go easily with all the worries that set in. I was emtionally down a few days ago but when I prayed, I felt that I want to spend a lot of time with God. If I focus on Him, I wont think too much about the past. I I felt motivated to want to attend mass often and get mpm members to spend time with God too. It felt like a great idea having at least one mpmers to attend mass. If everybody has this wanting to spend time with God through the highest form of prayer, that will be really nice. However I started to think what if the younger ones are really quite consistent in attending masses, then it might lead them to always want to fellowship after mass which might cause unhappiness to their parents. Still got many many worries but I guess wait till the day when I manage to get them to attend mass consistently.

Anyway because of this calling. I came up with a few more resolutions to help me fufil the first one.

2. Attend mass when I am morning shift and off days as long as I have no appointments.
3. Finish work latest by 4pm when I am morning shift.
4. Read up on my work after work.
5. Listen to the authorities

If I want to attend mass, I have to end work by 4pm and prepare to go church. If I want to end work on time, I need to know my work well too. In order to do that, I need to read up, recall knowledge and know more. I have to get myself not to be to frustrated over work, as it will affect me to respond to callings. I will listen to the authorites, after all I believe the authorities are from God because only God can have the authority over me. Those authroities are really difficult to handle but it will help me to be dicipline and I shall just keep my mouth shut and do what I need to do.

6. Find my community and to know God more.

With the plan up there, I definitly need support. I have to find my community to support me and also to find God. I believe that you can only find God through serving. I need His support and therefore I need to know Him more too. I will also read up on books when I am home or as long as I am free. The next few are my other commitments too.

7. Spend time with my Godson and God daughters on their special day (baptism and confirmation day) with Christ.

Even though it's a yearly thing but it's a commitment that I want them and myself to make. At least to attend mass and if possible see how otherwise we can spend time with God.

8. Not be judgemental

The colleague who used to scream at me, saying I was passing rubbish, was actually quite nice to me yesterday.

Yup 8 resolutions! Can I make it? I hope I can!
