12/29/2010 New Years Resolution

Where do I even start? Wow another year has gone by, can you believe it? Time just goes by so fast, I just wish I could slow it down just a bit. I haven’t written one of these in a very long time, and I feel that since 2011 is right around the corner, it is perfect timing!!! People always make new years resolutions and they usually involve dieting, quitting smoking, etc. Those are all great things, as long as you stick to them, but what about what counts most of all? Being good with God!!!! Now is as good as a time to start a good routine. It takes a daily commitment and dedication with no excuses!!! First thing in the morning, Get with God and spend time with him, throughout the day, speak with God and at night give him thanks for everything!!! We can tend to take things for granted. Everyone is so focused on the outward appearance when that part is all temporary, we all try to fit in society as best as we can, when it is all temporary. When Jesus was here, did he fit in with society? No, he was poor and not in the rich high society class, he stayed out of the limelight. The more in tune you try to be with this world, the farther away from God you become. The simpler the better, and you know where it all starts? With the Bible!!! Get in it everyday!!! Associate with godly people, and get away from the people that aren’t good for you!!! Make a fresh start with your soul, where it counts!!! Once you receive the Holy Spirit you have the guidance you need, but the key is that you need to tap into it everyday to get a better awareness of what Gods Plan is. Its very easy to just stay lukewarm and drift through life with just a little knowledge. How can you be content with just knowing a little??? Always search for more and more, and keep searching until you are no longer here. So this year, don’t do a superficial resolution, do something that counts and that will help you grow into a better person and have a stronger relationship with Jesus!!
On a personal note, I am so blessed beyond belief that I have nothing to complain about. I have an amazing husband and son that are my absolute world!!! I have them in my life because of God and the blessings he has given me. So cherish your loved ones, and make-up with your enemies. Always turn the other cheek. Don’t expect a easy path when following the Lord, you will get slandered over and over because the enemy wants to destroy you and the things God has for you. If you have a chance read Job in the Bible and that explains it.
So have a safe, blessed, New Year!!! God Bless katyrose
