reminiscing

although i never make new year's resolutions i have thought about it for some 4 days and i think i should try to spend my time a little (a lot) more productively. where productive means wiser. and wiser means a lot of things. in terms of academics, in terms of social circles, in terms of work ... but even more so in God's service. i want to be more faithful. more focused. less selfish and self-indulgent. with this comes to mind proverbs, and the hours i spend in catechism and memorizing verses. i remember specifically being frustrated with the idea, with the work i had to put into it, but with hindsight it has been more than useful. i don't only want this, i am also going to work towards this. so please hold me accountable.

"the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline" (1:7)
