resolve

There are 18 different definitions for resolve. Those that seem applicable to 2009 include:

1. verb- to come to a definite or earnest decision about; determine (to do something)


2. verb- to settle, determine, or state formally in a vote or resolution, as of a deliberative assembly


3. verb- to deal with (a question, a matter of uncertainty, etc.) conclusively; settle; solve


4. verb- to come to a determination; make up one's mind; determine


5. noun- a resolution or determination made, as to follow some course of action


6. noun- firmness of purpose or intent; determination

Below is my personal application to NOW of each definition in descending order.

1. I have come to a definite and earnest decision that this is the year I go through the temple.


2. I state formally that I need the support and encouragement of family and friends to meet Resolution No. 1.


3. Though I have vacillated on this issue in the past, I have determined that french kissing is inappropriate and sinful and it is not right for me to be engaged in it under any circumstances premaritally.
   
4. I am an average girl living an average life (sometimes I think I'm special... that is, more special than others.)


5. I will take whatever course of action necessary to graduate from FIDM this year.


6. I will be praying for greater resolve to carry out and live by the resolutions stated above.
