Yap you read it right. This year I am doing something totally different. I am not making resolutions. I am giving God a Year, But changing my life forever. I am reading a book called Give God a Year, Change Your Life Forever. And it has inspired me to not do resolutions like I do every other year because in the long run I always seem to fall short of my resolutions and then I am disappointed in myself.
So I have given myself to God for the next year and we are going to work hand in hand to accomplish five things.
- Getting my weight to 160 lbs. (35 lbs in a year totally do able)
- Build a closer relationship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
- Create and follow a morning routine and an evening routine.
- Live a healthier lifestyle
- Be debt Free… (Yap you read it right and I know we can do it)
Now I know you have to be wondering how I am going to accomplish these things. Well I have set up a few things that I call My Part. These are things that I plan to do to help me get where I want and need to be by the end of the year.
- Quite time with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit every morning
- Exercise 4 days a week
- Follow my morning routine
- Write in my planner and make a to do list every evening
- Incorporate From Zen to Done into my Life
- Read at least 30 minutes each night
- Less TV
- Spend more time with my family
- Pray and Obey
- Clip coupons, put all bills on auto pay, create a budget, become as frugal as possible while still enjoying life
As you can see all of this is totally doable and something that I can know I can keep up with.
I also wanted to share my routines with you
Morning
- Make Jim’s Coffee
- Laundry
- Quite time
- exercise
- Feed indoor dogs
- Check Meal Menu for the day
Evening
- Counters, stove, and dishes
- Shower and brush teeth
- Bible reading with Haylee
- Read at least 30 minutes
- Get to bed before 11 pm every night
I am pretty excited about this and I know that God is with me every step of the way. If you have time and this sounds like something you would be interested in doing I would suggest that you check out the book, Give God a Year, Change Your Life Forever.
I will try and keep you updated on Fridays but no promises here.
