I love resolutions. It could go back to when one of my aunties would sit each of us kids down and make a list with us of what we want to accomplish. I remember numerous years in a row with "stop biting fingernails" finally in my 20s I accomplished that. I kept the tradition going. When I was 33 I made the decision to stop swallowing my gum. (I hate when people throw it on the ground and I step on it or when they put it under the chair. I would rather just swallow it and take care of it simply.) Last year I memorized 1 Peter chapter 1. I don't always accomplish all the things but I try. This year:
- Dagbani fluency...not like, super-amazing-fluency but where I can teach in Dagbani or hear a message and understand.
- Listen or read the news more.
- Eat only when I am hungry.
- Memorize Romans chapter 8
I have lots but those are my big ones. We will see how it goes.I had a great time at home and an uneventful travel coming back. I got to see many people and just be with my family. It got really cold and I LOVED it! My dad was so amazed I never complained about being cold. Cold, as in --25 Farenheit. Yikes!
This week I have lots going on, will tell you next week or so about it. I feel like I have not quite caught up with everything. I lost my house keys among other things (even my pen, today at church I couldn't find it and then I remembered it was in my hair). So, I am feeling out of sorts and I don't really have time this week to catch up and I have several lists of things waiting to be done and crossed off. Damary told me, "RELAX". I think I left in such a hurry I was not able to put things into place and now that I am back it seems there is a backlog...backlog of what you ask??? I don't even know. Small, random things that all add up.But it is Harmattan season and things are cool and dry. I love it. It helps to not be sweating! Thanks for your prayers!
