It's the 4th day of 2010. Happy belated New Year to all. This year I've set before me a list of resolutions. This is no different than years past. I don't think I've followed through an entire year with a single resolution. Why is that I wonder? Perhaps it's fear of not succeeding. Or maybe it's simply because I don't take myself seriously.
I look back on 2009 and think of what became of it for me. Another year of a successful marriage. Another year with family and friends. Another year of asthma. Another year of diabetes. Another year of being overweight.
Well, 2010 will probably hold much of the same. But I've made a promise to myself and to God to be a healthier me. Not just physically but mentally and spiritually as well. The bible tells us, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." I've promised myself and God to honor Him with my body. Will I fall short of this? Most definitely. But I cannot have success without failure.
