The first post on the second.

Can you believe its 2012? Feels like 2011 was just last weekend doesn't it?

Crazy how time flies. Before we know it, it’ll be 2013. Then 2014. Then 2096, which will obviously be the year someone finally invents a hover board and a flying car.

Oh Nelly, I can’t wait till 2096. Gonna be one rocking year.

But for now, I gotta suck the life out of 2012.

I’m not one to make New Years Resolutions... well, actually I used to make them but after consistently failing on reaching my year long goals approximately 2 hours into the new year, I decided to punt them resolutions.

That’s not so say I don’t have goals for 2012. I guess I’m just remixing the whole New Years resolutions thing this year. Rather than first focusing on what I wanna do this year, I want to first look inward and consider what God might wanna do in my heart in 2012.

Here are 3 things I’m trusting God to do in my heart this year

1. Patience.

I’m way too impatient. Especially at home with Freckles (that’s what I call my wife. Don’t hate) and Bebe. Alright fine, the dogs get me riled up too. Don’t know what it is but little small things just get at me. I overreact and freak way too much. Need the Holy Spirit to grow the gift of patience in me. NOW.

2. Heart for the lost.

To be perfectly honest, I stink at this. Like dead fish stink. My heart breaks for lots of things but the lost isn’t really one of them. I mean, I get it in my head that hell is real but that just won’t cut it anymore. I need my heart to break that people are going to hell. I want that to make me mad. I want it to make me stay up at night and cry. I want my heart to beat with great affection for my neighbors and friends who don’t treasure Jesus.


3. Humility.

Although I need me some humble pie this year, I’m not gonna lie, it makes me nervous to put this on the list cause God is in the business of dishing out humble pie to anyone who fancies themselves enough to pop their collar and walk with a swagger.

4.  Crazy Love.


There’s loving Jesus. Then there’s loving Jesus on steroids. I wanna be the latar. I want to be so jacked up about Jesus that his name is always on my lips. I want to be like that guy in the parable who sells everything for the ultimate treasure that is Jesus. I wanna love Jesus like that. Not his gifts. Not his stuff. Jesus. I want to want only Jesus this year.

So that’s my list. And yes I know I listed 4 things instead of 3. Just seeing if you’re paying any attention :)

Anyways, what about you?

What are some things you want Jesus to do in you in 2012?

P:S- Happy New Year friends! Thanks for sticking with me. Excited to share life with you in 2012.
