Are you like me? Are you thinking of what you can do better in the new year? I don't like making resolutions cause I never stick to them! I am really bad about starting something Gun ho and never completing the task! I suppose that is my personality! At least I seem to blame it on that. :)
Well I have been thinking...oh no!...and I feel the need to just simply do better in all areas of my life. Did I say simply? I want to be a better wife, mother, and friend. Most of all I want to be a better child of God.
Do you beat yourself up like I do? I have many bruises from abusing myself! But God says that I am special to Him. And that with His help I can do anything! (Phil 4:13) The word of God is truthful. But I have to commit myself and pray for that help then believe and trust God to see me through. As our long time pastor always said, God is not in the blah moving business! In other words, he is not going to move us if we are not willing to help!
He is not a puppet master! So with that thought, I am going to make a list of just a few (cause I do not want to set myself up for failure) things I would like to accomplish this year!! Notice I said this year?? NOT within the next month! I am going to give myself a little time to change! Or should I say A LOT of time? LOL! This way I will not be crying in a few weeks saying I cannot do it after all! But there I go back to ME saying I cannot do it! So someone thump me on the head and remind me that I am not ALONE! And you are not alone either! Let us make the most of this brand new year we have been given! Next time I will share my list with you!
For now I will leave you with this. "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14
