The thought of making a resolution this year just didn't sound interesting.. I seriouslywas contemplating boycotting the whole idea.. :) But things have just been pressing on my mind this weekend. Things I can't ignore.
Last year I made a good amount of bad choices. This year I am REALLY NOT in the mood to do that all over again. I feel like I have learned. I have begun to find me, especially in the last few months.
My thoughts are this year 2010 will be a weight-loss/ faith journey year.
After all that has taken place in the former decade I have lost a lot of Trust in many people and many things. One was God. Now that I have chosen to Trust him again. . . I am realizing all the negativeness that surrounded me as a believer before.. even when I was 16 or so.
Even though I asked Jesus into my Heart at a young young age. I am feeling a drastic difference in my faith today... compared to Highschool. Looking back my closest years with the Lord were 17-19. I tried to rekindle that closeness in my Twenties .. but it was never what it was. "Kind of" like any other mortal relationships would be broken after a falling out.
This Winter has been a huge transition for me. I am not forsaken, I am not forgotten, I am Restored and I am redeemed. I truly believe these things. Think maybe authentically for the first time since I was a child. I want to build a strong relationship with the ONE I want to BE the closest too. My Lord. The Direction on my life. Not Me living for ME..
as for weight loss I'll Blog about that Plan another day :P
Thanks for Listening as always!
