Happy New Year to everyone! The holiday schedule kept me away from my regular scheduled blogging, but I'm Back!
Every Year ..by the time its October, and I know there is Halloween candy, then Thanksgiving Dinner, then Christmas Dinner, then New Years Dinner... my first resolve is that I'll let myself go in my eating habits til new years and then make a resolution to diet, eat right, exercise more. By the time May or June hits my commitments to the right diet have started to deteriorate for the year and I'm back in the cycle of October again. I hate that I do this, but I'm trying to change it! Have y'all ever done this?
We start something, start it well... and then.... ............. ... we start to ease up on the discipline. What if we treated each day like New Years day? wake up.... say its a new day... and I'm going to do .... (fill in the blank).
What if...
1. we celebrated "Happy New Day"!? That would totally change our perspective!
"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new EVERY MORNING; great is Your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3: 22-23)
2. Its good to make change each year (or day)
(Romans 12:2) "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
3. Follow through..... FINISH
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4: 7)
So whatever your new year's resolutions are make them your NEW DAY's resolutions starting now. :D
*Note: I'm back on schedule as of Monday. Apologies for the missed blogs.**
