Last night before midnight I was talking to one of my friends and he told me about a blog called Saved to Serve. The post that he specfically told me about was one about New Year resolutions that were made by the Founder of our church William Booth when he was aged 20.
The resolutions are
1.That I will rise every morning sufficiently early to wash, dress, and have a few minutes, not less than 5, in private prayer.
2. That I will, as much as possible, avoid all that babbling and idle talk in which I have lately so sinfully indulged.
3. That I will endeavor in my conduct and deportment before the world and my fellow servants especially to conduct myself as a humble, meek and zealous follower of Christ, and by serious conversation and warning endeavor to lead them to think of their immortal souls.
4. That I will read no less than four chapters in God’s Word every day.
5. That I will strive to live closer to God, and to seek after holiness of heart and leave providential events with God.
6. That I will read over this every day or at least twice a week

My friend has set me the challenge of following these resolutions throughout the year. Normally I make stupid resolutions that I never stick too. The purpose of this blog is going to be a way of recording my progress, it will be an honest account including any failures.
