This is our life...welcome to it.

New Year... New me

I am making a resolution this year that I truly hope I can stick to.

I want to become a better person. The woman that God wants me to be. I want to let go of the worry and the frustration and the anxiety. I want to de-stress and decompress.

This will require a lot of work on my part. I was taught well how to worry about things. I come by my anxiety honestly. But, I need to let go. I need to let go for my health and I need to let go because I am not in control of anything. God is in control. I am preparing to hand everything over to Him and not take it back again.

Here is my prayer for 2011 ---

Dear Lord,
Be with me and my family. Help us to see that we are not in control but that You are. Help us to remember that you have us in your hands and you are not letting us go. Help us to remember to seek you first. Help us to remember that we can do ALL THINGS through CHRIST who strengthens us.

Lord, Please keep your hand on us in our daily lives. Remind us to let our light shine for You. I hand over our financial troubles and frustrations and give them to you. Please help us out of the mire that we are in and bless our labor so that we may begin to reverse the mess that we are in.

Remind us that our bodies are your temple and that we should take better care of them. Not only to feel good and be healthier but because we are living for You. (It wouldn't hurt my feelings to be a size or 5 smaller... just sayin')

Please help us to achieve these goals and to become better Christians in 2011.

In Jesus name, AMEN
