It's a new year. With new dreams. New goals. It's a clean slate and I'm ready to start fresh.
This year, I'll be 16! That's, like, insane! So many privileges come with being 16. And with those privileges comes responsibility, which makes me rather, uh...*whispers* nervous. Like, erm, DRIVING. Another privilege that comes with being 16 - dating. *Blinks* Really? Did I just say that? I can DATE?!
Well, not yet. As of October 30, 2011 I can. Erm, not that I have anyone in mind or anything. It just seems so unreal. Ever since, like, the 4th grade, I've always known I couldn't date until I was 16. And now that it's almost here...wow.
Anyway, since most EVERYONE that I blog with posted about their dreams and goals and stuff for 2011, I figured, why not? I'm not typically a girl who goes with the flow, but seeing I do have some aspirations for this year, I'd like to share them.
1) LIVE OUT LOUD.
Everywhere I go, everyone I meet - I want them to see something different in me. I want Christ to be obvious in me. I want the world to know that I am His and He is mine. Faith without action is dead. So I wanna live out loud.
2) LOVE OUT LOUD.
I wanna just get out there and love on people. Stereotyping gets in the way of that I've figured out. So no more stereotypes. We're all God's - He loves all of us. We're all beautiful in His eyes. So why shouldn't I see people the same way?
"Give me Your eyes for just one second, give me Your eyes so I can see everything that I keep missin'. Give me Your love for humanity. Give me Your arms for the broken hearted, ones that are far beyond my reach. Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten, give me Your eyes so I can see." -Brandon Heath
3) FIND ME.
This one's gonna be the hardest. I wanna find my own style, my own spunk. And stand out. 1 Peter 2:9 says that we're a chosen people, and that we're supposed to be different. So I want my style (if I even have any!) to reflect that, too. I'm thinking vintage... :)
blessings,
anna :)

Ok I'm sad :( I wrote a really great comment and it said there was some editing error. :( :( :(
Oh well... here's roughly what I said:
Love your goals and dreams. Totally awesome. :D
I definitely know what you mean about the whole "dating" thing. My parents really didn't have a specific age that I could start dating, but MY age for me is 18... which I'll be in 7 days!! 0.0 Time does fly, let me tell you. Enjoy your age now because when you're my age, you'll be wanting to go back to those years. ;)
Woop! 2011, here I come!
I want to reflect God too, through my actions and my words. I'm striving to be more like Him. :)
I'm 16 NEXT year:P
Woo, Sisters in the Saviour is BACK!!! After a day;)
Haha I made up a quote last night.
"This year, I'm living my life.
Not Facebooking it." :D
Great post! I too want to Live Out Loud and Love Out Loud. loving people that are really different from me is sometimes hard for me. so it is a great challenge for 2011 :)

YOU ARE SO SPECIAL! Keep that smile. Keep serving God to the fullest. God's going to use you in countless ways! Love you. Thank you for everything. What a JOY you are to me!!!!
and p.s. - no problem.. go right ahead with the resolutions. :) <3
Awesomesauce!! :D *thumbs up* I mailed your letter today!! Your first letter! Eep. :D
I am not allowed to date. We do courting (which is kinda like dating, but basically you're just getting to know the guy, instead of going on dates and such) and the age when I'm allowed to start doing that is 18. Haha, so I have two more years. :)
I'm so excited for 2011! And like you said, bring it on! I've got God on my side!!! :D
*hugs*
xoxo,
