He's given me a new day. And PRAISE HIM, "His steadfast love never ceases". "His mercies never come to an end". Those mercies are new to cover my shamefulness every single new morning,
and no matter where my heart wanders... GREAT is HIS faithfulness. (Lam 3:22-23)

Spiritual:
More "Word-saturated"
Write out a verse in the morning to keep with me throughout the day; memorize with Sam
John 8:12: "Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life"
Be more prayerful/discerning about which relationships are healthiest to pursue/encourage
Prov 13:20: "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm"
Be prayerful for the people I do have in my life; Job 16:20-21: "My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God; on behalf of a man He pleads with God as a man pleads for His friend"
Have a tongue of kindness/be more careful about negative words
Prov 31:26: "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue"
Prov 18:21: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue..."
Luke 6:45: "A good man brings good things out of the good stores up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."
Eph 4:29: "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
Less procrastinating and pridefully analyzing with my own understanding, and more humility in trusting and acknowledging Him, prayer, and taking action with even the lighting of just one step ahead
Prov 3:5,6: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
Is 26:3: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."
Jer 10:23: "LORD, I know that people's lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps."
Ps 48:14: "For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end."
Num 9:20: "Sometimes the cloud was over the tabernacle only a few days; at the LORD's command they would encamp, and then at his command they would set out."

Saddle up your horses
We've got a trail to blaze
Through the wild blue yonder
Of God's amazing grace
Let's follow our Leader
Into the glorious unknown
This is a life like no other
This is the great adventure
We'll travel over, over mountains so high
We'll go through valleys below
Still through it all, we'll find that
This is the greatest journey
That the human heart will ever see
The love of God will take us far
Come on, get ready to ride
(The Great Adventure, Steven Curtis Chapman)
