Even though some say that your resolution won't come true if you speak on it, I spoke of my new year's resolution for 2011 to my family and friends the day before this year started and a majority of it came true, so I'm gonna speak my mind on the two I have for 2012. If you want to join in, by all means please do so.1. Most of all I want to be an even better Christian than I was this year. God used me in my church's prison ministry, greeter's ministry, and sunday school ministry, along with other activities my church had this year. Even though I've been saved since 2001 after I turned 14, I can honestly say I have never in my life been as active in the church as I was this year. I've been at my first church since I was a baby along with being saved there and learning the basics of being a Christian, but I am so glad I left it for my current church last year in 2010 because this church changed my life in so many ways compared to the 23 and a half years I spent at my first church. Plus I've been paying my weekly tithes and offerings, which before last year in 2010 I probably paid less than 10 times a year. Alotta blessings came to me for serving the Lord this year and I can't wait to see what's in store in the new year.
2. Second, I would love to get into the Air Force. I've been wanting to join the military since '05 but I've had alotta things keeping me from joining along with my own fears. Been going to college and working ever since high school graduation in '05 and I've learned a lot about myself since then, met alotta great people online and offline, found more hobbies (amvs in '07), and have become a better Christian than I was back then but now I think it's time for me to move on to bigger and better things. Some of my friends have told me it's not worth it with their reasons and I can see some of their points but I have to do this. I be lying if I said I'm not scared to go along with this, but I know in my heart I will be even more scared if I don't do this because time is wasting and more or less, I've been in the same spot since graduation. I'm really not the man I know I can be when it comes to living on my own, being able to provide for my wife and children when they come into my life, and protecting myself and the ones I care about from those who would do anything to harm us. It is a fact that the government is the embodiment of evil but I cannot let that fact stop me since with God on my side I will never stoop down to that level. There's a lot of great benefits and opportunities for me if I do join (along with the government paying for my classes since I'm tired of working check to check and paying for some classes out of my own pocket, glad I never took any student loans) including early retirement since this country wants folks to basically work till they die if they aren't military employed. And even though basic training will probably be the longest two months of my life, I have been training my mind, body, heart, and soul for this very rigorously since '08 after my grandfather died since he wanted me to join as well. This is the only branch of the military I want to join since 96% of the Air Force helps you with your career choice, which is what also makes this branch of the military the hardest to join since you have to score higher on the ASVAB test than any of the other branches. I absolutely do not regret the time I spent since graduation not in the military but bottom line, I'm going to make my recruitment into the Air Force a reality in 2012.
These are the only resolutions I have for 2012. Like I said before, if you would like to share go right ahead. Doing so could help them come true.
