It’s January 15th…two weeks into 2017. I wonder how many people have already fallen off the wagon and blow their resolutions to pieces? My One Word, “change,” is staring me in the face (literally, it’s over my desk) and I feel like I have not given it justice. The “old” me would have just figured since I’ve already messed up, why bother? There’ always 2018. Nope, I am not doing it. I am not giving in to a couple of weeks of not being focused.
I made some things happen. After a very busy week last week, I committed to starting off with a clean fridge and mason jar salads ready to go. No excuses. I have a plan set to help me make some better choices this week. I am committing to cooking more, and not just for myself, for the entire family to eat healthier. I am going to get up and move more. I even have a free month of fitness from a friend and I am about to embark on that journey.
Along with the physical changes, I have some others to make. Changes that are not visible. Something that I am terrible about is negative self talk…and I know I am not the only one who does it. I replay those messages of “I am not good enough, I am fat, I am not smart enough, I am not where I need to be physically, emotionally or spiritually.” Oh and here’s a good one, “If they only knew…”
Truth is, God knows everything about me and you. He knows our hearts desires, our passions and dreams and he knows the ugliness that lies in our hearts, and the love he has for us, no matter what, is overwhelming and all consuming.
If I have God on my side, how can I go wrong?
One breath at a time, Beloved, one breath at a time.
