32

It's hard to believe. 

I'm 32.

At times, I still feel like I'm a teenager. I feel like I can take on the world and that I have very few cares and worries and responsibilities. Then I spend any time at all with actual teenagers, and I laugh, because boy ih boy do I definitely feel old then. Ha! :)

Anywho, I thought it'd be fun to make a list of new year resolutions since a new year of my life is starting today. 

So without further ado, here is my list of 32 things I'd like to do while I'm 32 (in no particular order)...

1. Be a more organized teacher.

2. Read at least 1 new book each month.

3. Find a spiritual mentor.

4. Stick with journaling.

5. Read and journal through the entire Bible again.

6. Have at least one person over for a meal each month.

7. Try at least one new recipe each month.

8. Go to bed at a decent time each night.

9. Spend less time on my phone.

10. Exercise more.

11. Lose weight.

12. Get in better shape.

13. Eat healthier.

20. Live out Proverbs 31:8 by speaking up for those who need it.
