New Year Resolution

2014 

I will practice Faith over Fear!

Faith is not always easy. But it feels so much better than fear. Faith gives me the freedom to believe that everything will work out, that God will bless my effort, and that I will become my best self.

I will take what is good in my life and make it great without worrying about what’s not working, and without planning for the worse case scenario. Faith catapults me into God’s blessings. For how can God bless me if I’m always planning for and discussing the worse case scenario? I can find joy in the midst of life’s uncertainty and chaos, if I choose faith and reject fear.

I will continue to embrace Faith, and allow it to transform me and teach me patience as I endure and enjoy life. The patience I gain by faithful endurance will equip me to continue on the journey as I mature, grow closer to God, and stop worrying. Faith grows during difficulty, doubt, disappointment and fear.  Faith will sustain me and gives me Hope!

I will praise God in the midst of everything. So that no matter what is happening in my life, good or bad, if I praise God and seek his face, then I will allow myself to be more blessed, more grateful and more satisfied.

I will love and support the dreams of my son, while I enjoy watching him become the man God made him to be. It’s not easy to let go of a child when he becomes an adult, but as I allow him to grow and make his own choices, I get to embrace his individuality and appreciate that fact that I did the best I could raising him. Now I will just cover him in prayer, give advice when asked, and remind him of his amazing potential, his greatness within, and his ability to make a positive impact.

I will create a life that is inviting to a future life partner and I will continue to cultivate and honor relationships with my girlfriends.

I will be strong and confident. And on those days when I feel weak and uncertain, I will thank God for all that I have. I will purposefully change my attitude, control my thoughts, and determine myself to choose joy and peace until my strength and confidence returns.

I will wake up thankful for a new day and a fresh start.

I will focus on being efficient, inspiring, and useful as I make a difference.

And I will go to sleep each night thanking God for another day lived well!
