I typically don't make New Year's resolutions, mostly because I always break them and I don't like failure. But I've been thinking about what resolutions girls' leaders could make this year. Here are a few I came up with. Enjoy!
1. I resolve that I will be patient with girls when they start talking about their best friend's cousin's dog during Bible study.
2. I resolve that I will never plan another lock-in.
3. I resolve that I will not answer my own questions in Bible study. I will remember that
silence is sometimes good.
4. I resolve that I will remember that I am not 16 years old and therefore will suffer consequences for playing laser tag, going rock climbing, or playing powder puff football.
5. I resolve that I will remember that teenagers are fun to be around when they're not doing something stupid.
6. I resolve that I will forgive myself for saying the wrong thing, forgetting supplies, and missing a cheerleading competition.
7. I resolve that I will listen more and talk less.
8. I resolve that I will allow girls to see me without make-up on, in my pj's, or mess up dinner at least once this year.
9. I resolve that no matter how fun it looks, bungy jumping or falling from great heights in any form is a bad idea.
10. I resolve that I will remember that when it's all said and done, girls won't remember what I said in Bible study, but they will remember how I responded when they told me their darkest secret.
