New Year Resolutions

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.

Resolutions for 2016....
{Giving} Give 10% Tithe Bi-monthly
{Mental} Read 12 Books
{Spiritual} Read Bible Daily
{Financial} No Debt / Pay off Credit Card with Eric's Surgery on it
{Travel} Travel somewhere we've never been
{Health} 120lbs by Christmas 2016
{Professional} Have my Wedding Planner website up and running
 
What are your new year resolutions?

If you’re like me then the minute your babies were born you were online looking at deals and ways to save money. I came across a lot of blog posts and articles stating if you contact this company then they will send you this product free. I thought how true is this? So I put them to the test.

My God Wants Me To Trust Him

Lately I've been feeling really worried about a procedure I have coming up. In January it seemed like such a far off thing but now as the days tick by I'm getting so nervous. I have feelings of doubt and fear; what if this doesn't work? How are we going to pay for all this? What if things go wrong? What if I die? All extremely scary stuff. But then I remember that people go through this all the time, every day. I'm going to be ok no matter the outcome because my trust is in God and not the doctors.  Psalm 37:5 Commit everything you do to the Lord; trust Him and He will help you. Psalm 56:3 - 4 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.  Psalm 56:9 - 13 When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me. In God I will praise His Word, in the Lord I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What...
