ONE

Maybe you kind of feel like this too…like a maverick…someone that laughs or rolls your eyes when you hear the term “New Year’s Resolution.”
 
You love them…you hate them… the skeptics will tell you there’s no point in making one because you will break it, the optimists say well just pick an attainable goal.  Blah. Blah. Blah.  Never been one to do what everyone else does.
 
Yesterday we shredded all of our bad memories over the past year…now it’s time to move forward with a better outlook.  Out with the old…in with the new.
 
Saw this idea from the Happiness Project…about picking one word.  Just identify one idea, one theme for the entire year.  Maybe it’s Hope, maybe Patience, maybe forgiveness. 
 
I’m picking ONE.  From my little Daily Word this morning…
 
Declare oneness with God.  God is in you…God is working through you to fulfill a good purpose.  Be open to God’s perfect order.  Allow your life to unfold as it should.
 
I’m not going to obsess anymore about what’s next in life.
 
“The crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth.” –Luke 3:5 
 
Tell me what your word for the year will be…

Step off the Sidelines

by Amanda | 0 Comments

Maybe you feel it too…it’s the bridge week between holidays…trying to rest up from one and gear up for another…

Maybe you’ve seen them too all the magazines in the grocery story aisle with the best and worst lists…counting up the tragedies of the year…depressing just standing in line buying milk.

Just wish we could move on…and not focus so much on counting up all the bad things.

Maybe you do this in your own life…I certainly have…obsess over something bad that’s happened and you let it limit you. 

Talked about this yesterday and asked you to share the moments you want to forget of 2011, We were overwhelmed with your responses…

One woman says she wants to get rid of being resentful and angry at her mom for missing out on a relationship with her father

Mattie…wants to leave behind depression, sadness, unhappiness, and loneliness

Jeanne was laid off and wants to forget being laid off, and living with no self worth, depression and feeling like she’s not living up to God’s potential….

Love Mandissa’s song “Waiting for Tomorrow"…a lyric says “God Made you for so much more than sitting on the sidelines.” 

Time to move off the sidelines on to the playing field…stop letting the bad stuff limit you…and live a full life. 

Peace Out 2011…as promised we are now Shredding the bad memories and looking forward to fresh clean slate…only God can make this possible…
