Do you know you, your weaknesses? your strengths?
Are you finding time for yourself?
Is it in front of the tv or the computer? Sitting in a chair?
Okay it is time for a huge wake up call, we can't do for others until we take care of our selves.
I know we are already overwelmed, sometimes things have to be sacrificed so we can do what truely needs done.
It seems as if so many of us are paying for others poor choices, in the meantime our health and wellbeing is being challenged.
The further we fall into this hole, the harder it is too climb out.
Sit down and write your weakness and strengths, what habits you need to break, what habits you need to work on and keep.
Next journal what expectations you are willing to give to others. We are allowed to say NO that won't work for me. This is what I am able to give you. Sometimes NO is the best gift we can give to others. Stop letting guilt rule your world.
Now tomorrow is Fat Tuesday, and then Ash Wednesday (repent), then Lent. Which should be used to fast and pray.
It is the perfect opportunity to use Gods word to accomplish our goals.
Take Tuesday to waller in your negatives. And then on Wednesday vow to take a step to improve you!
Giving up sugar is not fasting, It does nothing for you anyway. It is an addiction, giving it up is not a sacrifice. You need to remove something you need, not something you want.
Vow to do something to improve you, that way you can accomplish a goal that God speaks to you about.
Maybe it will be learning something you never knew you needed to learn, reading and applying scripture to everyday life everyday, volunteering at the soup kitchen every week, visiting a shut inn, improving your stamina by exercising, saying no every single time you are asked. That is giving up your time,
Make your self better! Make your community better! Make your world better!
