Getting rid of old habits isn't as easy as flipping a page in a book....
When I finished reading Jesus Calling (Young, 2004) this morning, I took the ribbon marker from the last page back to the first page. It occurred to me that tomorrow is not only a new day, but a new year. It's only one day, but it feels different. I usually write the previous year on a few checks I write the beginning of a new year.
I love this graphic, a rainbow over water. I love rainbows (and the ocean too). God promised us in Genesis 9:13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. A new beginning. Granted, getting rid of old habits isn't as easy as flipping a few pages and starting at the beginning of a book. However, it is a place to start.
For years I spent lots of time writing out (what I thought were) brilliant new year resolutions. Usually about a month into my endeavor, I lost the list.
This year I plan to eat healthier and exercise more. End of list. I realized that when I set goals for myself that are unrealistic, I will not stick to them.
One of my friends and I were talking about our goals for the coming year. She shared her goals are basically the same as mine; staying healthy. She said one of her daily mantras is "I hate sugar." After we stopped laughing..........
GLIMPSE OF AN ANGEL IS NOW AVAILABLE. A PORTION OF ALL SALES WILL GO TO HOSPICE TO THUS ENABLE THEM TO HELP OTHERS WHO ARE SOON TO PASS TO THE OTHER SIDE. NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
