Resolutions

This year, I am going to be fearless. And let this blog hold me accountable as I go through life this coming year. I am not going to worry anymore. Because I know how much it affects my relationships and everything I do. And I am so tired of worrying about what others think, I want to be a beautiful, strong, and fearless woman through Christ. I am going to be secure in who I am and know that who I am is enough in anything I do. I am not going to spend my time worrying about being a person that lives to please everyone else. I think being secure in myself means being secure through Christ, and knowing who I am through Him. It was so beautiful this morning, I went for a run on the beach before we had to leave our campsite at Encinitas. And I was just running along, and Divine Romance came on my iPod. and normally, I would have easily skipped that song to a more upbeat tempo, but this time, God kind of stopped me. I could kind of hear Him tell me, "just slow down". So, I just walked along that foggy beach and danced and sang out loud to God. And it made me so happy! Just being with God, and having that mindset of being with Him was so precious to me. I think He was showing me once again how much more fulfilling He is than this world will ever be. I think I needed to see that for two reasons: One, to see that His opinion is greater than what the world thinks of me. And two, to be reminded of how fulfilling it is to have Christ as the center of my life. I have let most of my days lately, go by without taking time to even talk with God. I have missed that closeness with the Lord. And this year I want to get in the habit of making time of Him, even when it seems totally inconvenient, so He can be the center of my life again. So there they are, my two resolutions for this year. Good times ahead my friends!
