I don’t know how I missed this post!! I am going to stop hanging out on the sidelines, telling myself I can’t do what God wants me to do, stop convincing myself I am not ready, stop dragging my feet because it is so far out of my comfort zone.

He obviously has a different opinion, and it is time for me to get out of His way

Blessings to you this evening, praying for a joyful, stretching, and leaning on God year for all of us.

that is so true sarah. i find myself often saying… well on monday i will stop eating all those chocolate chip cookies, i will start counting my points on WW, i will drink more water, eat more fruits/veggies, etc..

i WILL drink more water today, spend more quiet time with the LORD, eat more fruit and vegetables, limit sweets and fountain soda ) i did get back into an exercise groove. i purchased two more workout videos for at home to shake thing up a bit. if i get bored, my motivation falters. hoping to ditch 15-20 lbs by spring.

resolve to do it today!

You’re right on Sarah: “If it is truly a resolution, resolute, resolved, then RESOLVE to begin now.” In reality, we only have right now. There’s no guarantee we’ll even make it to Friday.

Here’s a powerful reminder of that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cw8I8eukaI

I am resolving today to see women as beautiful, life giving humans, my sisters.

Thank you for the reminder to decide now. It’s so easy to put off being who we want until a later time.

I resolve to start spending time with God, to be thankful (for the good and the bad) and truly forgive. Also, to start running (again), eat better, organize, clean and cook for my family.

Thank you for the encouragement.

Ok, ok, well, I have begun one part of my “resoluting”…we are beginning to carefully clean out, organize, and pack things we won’t need until we move! That other part, about losing those 30 pounds…that really does have to wait. I got into the habit of buying convenience foods because they were cheaper and now I simply can’t bear to waste them, so I will finish the last of them this week, and start fresh with a new food shopping week on Monday!
THanks for reminding me!

The Lord has given me an epiphany at the conclusion of a breaking, shaping year. While most of us know that we aren’t to be ruled by our emotions, it is a difficult concept to grasp in the natural for me. Yesterday’s daily reading with my husband (a new and awesome habit we’ve been working on) was about the emotion-driven wife from Jimmy Evans’ Marriage on the Rock. I’m not the dominant wife or the docile-floormat one. I’m the emotion-driven one, and I see that as the root of some of my issues in so many areas of my life. I resolve, TODAY, to not be ruled by my emotions. Emotions that make me want to eat more, not work out, argue, have a bad attitude, be sad or angry, dwell on the past, or otherwise impede my relationship with God, my husband, and my family and friends will be a thing of the past. Only by the grace of God….=)
