2013 and my best new year resolve to date:)

I'm a few months late for a New Year Resolve but I've already been doing it in the past weeks so just to make it legit, here's my written commitment:

This 2013, I resolve to be an Inspiration and Encouragement to others, and to shed a glimpse of God's love to people I encounter the best way I can.

I do it every now and then actually- sharing words of encouragement, giving a simple gift, expressing my gratefulness, lending a hand, and showing my appreciation, especially for people I like; but this year, without being biased, I pray that God would give me the eyes to see, the ears to hear, and the sensitivity to His Spirit and to the needs of His children. Further, may I have the courage to go past beyond my shyness, and the strength to overcome personal obstacles, that I may boldly and gladly be a channel of blessing to His children thru the opportunities He has given me.

I've done it before and just today, I randomly left a comment to an old classmate's sad status update, and sent an email to a random blogger I've been following, who seem to be going through a tough time. It feels really great! I am hoping for replies, not for my credit but for God's glory, but even if I don't get them, I know that God is already glorified knowing that I am doing my best to let His light shine in my life.

To my credit, I think this is my best New Year Resolve to date...haha...and if it's any indication, thank you Lord for making me more and more like you each day. I know I'm still a million miles away, but with your Spirit living in me, may I never get tired of trying, never trusting in my own abilities and always holding on to your promise that 'I can do all things through thee who gives me strength.'
