I am giving up on resolutions. It’s cliché and something people do around this time of year, but I think we do them more to say we have done them, instead of doing them with any intent on actually following through with them. So for 2012, I am making zero resolutions. I am pretty avid follower of Joel Runyon-you can find him here and here-and he is always talking about doing impossible things. Thus, for 2012 I am making an impossible list. Because #1 on my list of goals is to live life to the fullest that I can and to accumulate as many experiences as I can. So enjoy my impossible list and maybe it will inspire you to make one of your own!! (because resolutions are sooo yesterday)

Love it Amanda. Fully alive to me is when I surrender and allow Jesus to live His life out through me. Fulfilling the destiny He has designed and desires for me. How great to see an impossible list because with God nothing is impossible and with Him you will see and accomplish great things. Keep up the post! Mark

Thanks Mark- I couldn’t agree more!!! I have def. seen God do some impossible things in my life and the more I step out in the faith, the more I see.

Hey Amanda, couldn’t agree more with the clichéd resolution making… I find myself thinking about what’s on my list more rather than doing some of them. I’ve been striking off things on my life goals list, with the latest few being to catch fish in Alaska, Becoming a pilot, and experience -60 degree weather… and survive. Inspiring post. Blessings to what you will do and accomplish.

Jon-those things sound awesome!!! I don’t know about experiencing -60 degree weather though. Keep striking things off your list! Hope things are going well!!

Haha anything below -10 pretty much feels the same to me… and that’s something to be said coming from Saipan where the weather never wavers below 75 deg. 🙂 Has me missing the beach! Hope all is well on your end!
