So, how many of these things have I done?
Not. A. One.
I'm really embarrassed about the third item.
It seems to be a pattern with me. I know what I'm supposed to do (exercise), I'll see the negativity of my not doing the said thing (getting a bit soft in the middle), yet I still will not change my behavior. I'm wondering my own self what it will take for me to change....
But I already know the answer to that.
It takes a made-up mind. A determined effort. A will to succeed.
It's amazing how many things in life we will make up our minds to accomplish. Since I've started back in school, I have stayed at work a couple of hours late daily to make sure my readings are complete and my assignments are finished. As much as I love getting off at an earlier time, I love getting A's more.
Soooo.... I need to have a "come to Jesus" moment. If I don't make a determination to change, nothing will change. I can sit and shake my head at myself and sad how sad I am all I want. It changes nothing. I have to make some moves that will make the difference.
Are you making the effort to change what you know needs to be changed in your life? Have you made up your mind to succeed?
Let's not have a list of things we never got around to doing. Let's go out and succeed!
Verse of the Day: For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Romans 7:15
Good morning Miss Ti,
ReplyDeleteGood precious God, you blew me away this morning!!....see, I was having the EXACT same conversation with myself and my Papa up above about my physical weight that's way too much for me and a few other issues in my life that I want and need to change. I too know that I have not spent enough time in the day conversating with Jesus, I'm aware of it and ashamed but it's the truth; I WILL DO BETTER!!
Though I don't know you per-se and how much physical weight you'd like to lose..me on the other hand have looooots of physical weight to get off of me. I think God has been so gracious and revealed alot to me as to why I've been "emotionally" eating in the past and this time around I'll be relying on God to help me with will power, determination and the physical strength/endurance to become physically healthy, fit and strong...so I'll be eating healthy, good food and exercising daily. I'm determined to also put in more one-on-one time with my Jesus in the mornings and in the evening.
It never amazes me how God will use another one of my Sisters to let me see - confirmation -
Have a blessed day my Sister!! Dee
Thanks for the encouragement, Dee. We both can do better together! Thank God for his new mercies that come to us daily! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!!....we CAN and WILL do better....not only better, but we'll get to accomplish exactly what it is we want done. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, it's now that I'm really understanding that statement. Enjoy the rest of your day and have a good evening. Peace and blessings.
