New Year

With a new year comes resolutions, desires, dreams and the like. I read a devotional today that marked for me the desire of my heart this year. " Be today who you want to be tomorrow." It really resonated with me because so many times I say that I will do it tomorrow, that I will do better tomorrow, but why not today. Why not get up earlier today, exercise today, love those around me today. So my hope and my "resolution" is to be today what I shouldn't put off until tomorrow. To love my children the best that I can today. To tell my husband that I love him whenever I think about it. To be thankful for the blessings of today and not worry about tomorrow. To embrace teaching again today and not worry about it. To volunteer now, to love what I do and be true to myself. To remember it is not always about me. To be careful to listen to God's words today and to be cognizant of my effect on others around me. To care about my attitude and how I speak to others. To be the woman God created me to be, to be the woman I want to be tomorrow . . .but instead make it today.
