New year, new you?
I don't think so, it hardly ever sticks. you promise yourself to do more exercise, or to eat more healthily, give something up... the list goes on.
last year I decided to give up noodles, I gave them up because I was eating noodles everyday and it was probably not that good for me. It did last the whole year, it was difficult to begin with but it got easier as the year went on.
but in all honesty it is the first year I've completed a whole year of giving something up. It hasn't changed me as a person and neither did I expect it to, even though I convinced myself it would, but also at the beginning of 2014 I promised myself that id be a "new me". that didn't happen either. I don't know what I expected to happen but nothing did, last year I had a new boyfriend, a new job, and that's about it.
I think the "new me" has started, but only since I started the new job, Essential. I have learnt a lot about myself, and my journey is still ongoing.
What I'm trying to say is that just because a new year starts, doesn't mean the new you starts then, it can take time and can sometimes happen over time not over night.
Don't give your self unrealistic goals or time lines or 'start dates' Pray to God, put all your cares in His hands and let your life go on it's own path led by God.
I want this year to take up something rather than giving something up, so this year I'd like to be accountable for all of you who read my blog. if you would like me to pray for you you can comment on the bottom of this post, or email me on: lauren.harry@salvationarmy.org.uk
