I am a natural pessimist. It's something that I have tried so hard in the past few months to change. I want to be someone who looks on the bright side and doesn't always see the bad in everything. For some reason, I was born with this attitude.
In school I would always think I made a horrible grade on tests or work so if I did it wasn't just a shock. If I made a good grade I would be happy. As a mother I tend to see the horror in all things. If my husband is late, I worry. Is that from God? Or Satan?
So, I would say that my new year's resolution would be to be more encouraging to myself and to others. As a pastor's wife (I think it is my duty as a Christian mostly), I should be able to encourage those in our flock, those around us in church.
How will I do that? Study my Bible. Prayer. And practice, practice, practice. It is my humble opinion that what is in our hearts is how we will behave. If we can change those habits then we can put those into practice in real life.
