New Year, New You

So this begins my journey...my year long journey to break old habits and create new ones.  To say no to my flesh and yes to God.  To quit saying and start doing.  To quit wishing I can and start believing I can.  To be healthy(physically), wealthy(spiritually) and wise(emotionally).

Now let me explain those last three:

Healthy physically because so many of the daily decisions we make are directly related to how we feel, and how we feel is directly related to our mental state and our mental state is directly related to our physical state.  I am committing this year to take care of myself physically by eating right, exercising, getting enough sleep, balancing work and play, and living in the fullness of HIS JOY!

Wealthy spiritually because what comes out is directly related to what we put in.  I want to fill my thoughts, words, ad actions with truth from HIS WORD.  I want to be useful for HIM.  I want to be living out what I'm teaching my kids and your kids to use the Word, read the Word and know the Word.

Wise emotionally because i don't want to spend all my emotional energy on people and things that aren't deserving and leave me depleted and running on empty.  I want to be wise in how I choose to invest my emotions and not let that be stolen from me.  I want to use discernment and give where I'm supposed to give, first in my home and then to the relationships the Father has placed in my life as well as my ministry.

So here's to 2011...what does your journey look like?
