New Year’s Resolutions, they seem unending. I’ve come to realize that you never truly stop needing a resolution and sometimes you need the same one year after year. Mine is forgiveness. Each year for the past three years I’ve told myself I am going to learn to forgive, and each year I get a step closer. This past year I did a Bible Study with some ladies of the Church to help me conquer this resolution. I can proudly say I’m better than where I was before but this is something that continues to be a struggle for me and therefore I just need to keep learning. Even when I do truly learn to forgive, especially when the person is not sorry, and I learn to not let it affect me, I think there are still ways to grow and be more like Christ in this area. I think a long with the forgiveness I want to be challenged to have a more Christ like attitude this year when situation arise. I may regret saying that because I may be put through fire now but I do want to be a better Christian, a more loving person, someone people can go to and know they'll receive love, truth IN love, encouragement and positivity.
I am also proud to say I checked off 3 other resolutions from last year; Becoming a Wedding Planner(Finished Christmas), Travel Somewhere I’ve Never Been(Wisconsin & Michigan), and Save X amount of $$ for a down payment on a house. This year I have some new ones, such as lose the 40lbs I’ve gained from last year. This is my main one I want to focus on. As most people already know I've started my January Vegetarian diet. I will reintroduce my body to meat (a healthy way) come February but for now I wanted to kick out all the bad stuff I was eating and that included Patio Chicken Sandwiches covered in mayo, Taco Bell Chicken Chalupas, BBQ Chicken Pizza, WINGS....the list goes on and on. Do you see a reoccurring theme? I love chicken and I love to smother it in everything that isn't good for you. So my ultimate goal is to eat as much chicken as a want but eat it in a health way so I'm still getting the nutrients but not cancelling it out by eating all the dressing that I like to put on it.
