My 2009 Motto

So, you know how sometimes you get a little down on yourself and it's New Year's time and you start to write your resolutions late at night and you feel like you have to change everything about You but the more you write the more you think "This is Crazy!" and you want to give up before you even start? You do??? Oh good, I thought that sort of thing only happened to me! :)

Well, I had a couple days to look over my huge list of ...well, complaints, really...and it occurred to me that I am concentrating far too much on my weaknesses and not enough on the positive things in my life.

So. Instead of resolutions (which frankly I never keep anyway), I've decided to adopt a Theme for the year...a code...a Motto. I picked a Scripture that reminds me that the Lord gives us weaknesses so that we will call upon Him for Strength. The things I struggle with may seem overwhelming to me, if not impossible at times, but with the Lord's help All Things ARE Possible.

My Motto for the Year:

My God Shall Be My Strength

(Isaiah 49:5)

So, while I may not abandon my list of resolutions entirely...I'm working on most of them perpetually anyway...I will approach them with the faith that this life is a journey and in the end, with the Lord's help, I'll be exactly who I'm meant to be.
