resolving no longer to linger

a new year. a new beginning.
.
i haven't heard a lot of people talking about new year's resolutions this year. maybe it's because people have stopped making them. more than likely, everyone's probably afraid of vocalizing them, leading to accountability of said resolution. i can't imagine many resolutions are kept anyway... but maybe.
.
so as a Christ follower, i don't even understand the need for a new year's resolution. after all, shouldn't we be changing daily, continually dying to ourselves? every day... and arguably every moment... is an opportunity to press onward. why wait until january?
.
since i missed january 1st, i am resolving today, january 3rd, to change, to stop hanging out where i am. afterall, why should i wait until next january? i will now aim to be who i seem to think everyone else needs to be. and since i'm pretty idealistic and perfectionistic, that's a pretty lofty goal.
.
pray for me.
