Another year in the making has ended and a new year has begun, I hear a lot of people ask, "Have you made a New Years Resolution?" My answer is "No". You ask why well, I had quit making resolution long ago since I would start at the beginning of the year and by February or March and I had stop doing what I had said I was going to do. Does this sound familiar? So you ask what do you do now? 

Now I just choose a word or a Scripture verse from the Bible that speaks to me. This year my word is "Still" and this one has already been speaking to me. I have come to realize I just need to be still and listen to God and relax and not stress. So, if you are having a hard time with New Years Resolution, try choosing a word (i.e. Still, patient, love, kindness) or Scripture verse. (i.e. Psalm 46:10; Psalm 119:105). When choosing a word you want this word to be able to speak to your heart, for example kindness. Maybe God is asking you to be kind to someone or maybe he wants you to show kindness to your family that you are struggling to show kindness too. 

If you don't do resolution either maybe this will help. Either way just take a deep breath and follow the leading God has set out for you. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. 

 May this year be a blessed and fun filled year for you!
