Time To Reevaluate

*Warning* ~ Vulnerable Post

Most people do a reset of their lives or goals or "resolutions" on January 1st. I tend to choose a word for the year to begin January 1, but I do a life-reevaluation on my birthday. It just so happens that my birthday is on July 1st, so it's a perfect time to take some inventory and make some changes halfway through the calendar year. 

I ask myself how I think the last year of my life has been. I ask myself how I think God thinks the last year of my life has been. Have I been living in the direction He wants me to be? Have I been kind? Have I valued relationships? Have I made the most of my brief time here on earth? Have I kept to the changes I made on my last birthday? 

Well...I can always do better. I found this list and I thought I'd give it a try for this next year. Let me know if you try it and how it goes for you. You can ask me next July 1st how it's working out for me!
