Over three hundred blank pages to fill in, with one extra for the leap year! This is quite a special notebook to be handed, and I wonder... how are we going to fill it?
Last year I filled with too much complaint and lack of zeal. Some pages I
didn't even fill in at all... I was too 'busy' wasting time.
This year: what?
With God's help, the pages will be filled in with hard work, love, and service.
I need to learn more about Him.
I need to learn to grow closer to Him and make Him the first thing in my life.
I need to learn to bring Him into everything I do and say, to always have my eyes on Him
I need to learn to serve Him better in a quiet, selfless way.
I need to learn how be the woman He wants me to be: a woman like Mary, who takes His words and ponders them in her heart.
I need to learn how to see Him in everyone I meet.
I need to learn to clear my life of everything that takes me further from Him.
I need to learn to give up on my own strength and give myself entirely into His hands.
I need to let Him take me and use me as a pen, to fill this notebook of 2012 with grace, compassion, kindness, sacrifice, service, and love.
I need to let all other New Year Resolutions be subordinate to this one: to give myself entirely to Him, without reserve.

Thank you for stopping by CYW! Comments are always welcome, and we appreciate your thoughts. CYW is meant to be a community of like-minded Catholic women, so hearing from our readers always make us smile.
Disagreement is permitted, but we require that some sort of name be attached to the comment rather than simply leaving it anonymous and that charity always be maintained. And, though criticism of a post is acceptable, any derisive remarks about the personal lives of the contributors are considered unacceptable.
Comments are moderated for the sake of our young readers.
