Fat Girl Slim- Resolutions for the New Year

I know some people may read that title and become offended, but honestly they'll get over it. We all know that with the new year comes a variety of resolutions that people almost never seem to stick to. I am guilty of that just as much, if not more, than everyone else. Year after year I make the same resolution to get thinner, and year after year all that seems to happen is a gradual rise to the number on the scale. Until 2012.

Maybe it is all the specualtion of the world supposedly ending (although we know that the world will end when God dedcides it is going to end). But this year I've decided to make a few resolutions that I am GOING to stick to. My determination is at an all time high, and I have the privledge of having a support group of people to help me strive toward my goals. So here begins my list of life changes that are starting this year:

1- I am going to read through my Bible in a year. I have tried to accomplish this task many times. Unfortunately, I have never been able to accomplish this. I always seem to let the "busyness" of my personal life get in the way. I put busyness in quotations because there is nothing in my life that is more important than being in God's word.

2- Branching off of my previous goal, I am going to memorize scripture. Growing up as an AWANA kid I know how important it is to have God's word hidden away in your heart. Yet, with age I have lost my motivation to be constantly tucking scripture in my heart. So that is going to change.

3- I am going to get healthy. I kind of have a jumpstart on this particular goal but nonetheless, I am determined to make this happen. I am going to have a better and more healthy life. I am blessed to have people around me to encourage me and work with me in this goal evey step of the way and I am so thankful for them. Without them, I'm pretty sure that I would've already been back in a booth at Red Robin.

So now I get to challenge you. I challenge you, whoever you are to make changes this year and stick with them. Don't just talk the talk, get up and do sommething about it. Find a group of people that you can count on as an accountability group.

Here's to a new year, and a new you.

Happy New Year
