When the new year rolls around people are always asking what are you giving up? What are you going to change? At these times, I find myself searching deep within to find the ultimate resolution.
Perhaps I'm a bit different. Perhaps God forgot to place within me that constant drive....that firmness that will not let me stray from my resolutions. By the 5th of the year I'm usually sulking in the misery that I'm unable to change. I can't keep up anything long enough to make a difference..............UNTIL NOW!!!
If I was the one who created me.............then I would be able to reach inside and grab my tool bag to adjust the needed areas in my life that needed adjusting. I am not the great "I AM" but I have been created in His Image and likeness! When I turn to him ~ "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13 ~
So what did I resolve to do differently this year? I've decided that I will give to HIM everything HE gave to me, and HE will teach me what I need to learn and what HE needs me to do. I am nothing without HIM!
NOTE: To Live as St. Francis did..............I'm still working on it...........no wonder they said that it would be a long process! But I do truly believe that the book has helped me to get to where I am right at this moment! God Bless all of you!
My next post will be the HEAD and the HEART and how a family cannot function to do God's will for their lives if they are disconnected.
