Are you thinking about your New Year's resolution yet? In the past mine typically started in late November early December and would change weekly, sometimes daily. Last year my New Year's resolution for 2013 was to find a new church family.
I had a friend who had invited me to her church for months, and I kept saying no. I was holding on to familiar roots and did not want to let go. I did not want to branch out and try something new. Story of my life, stick with the old......the new is not for you. But when 2013 started I decided I needed a change. I went to Abundant Life Church for the first time on Jan 6, 2013. Now if you were there on that day sitting towards the back left and you saw someone wearing a white blouse with jeans and brown shoes who had the "deer in the headlights" look, than you saw ME!!!! I felt like I was the only person in the room. Like the senior Pastor was only speaking to me. "Thrive" was the series Abundant Life started 2013 off with and WOW was it amazing.
This one resolution that I followed through with was a huge turning point in my life. I began to grow spiritually, I began to embrace life, I began to be a better role model for my children, but most importantly I realized I needed to make a change for myself regarding my health and eating habits. I joined a gym in Febuary and while I embraced it, I still was not 100% committed.
Jump to June 10, 2013 when I started my transformation. This was not the easiest process, but I was committed. I started to really open up to my health coach, and share things about my personal life that I really did not share with anyone. I slowly started to peek out of the box I had been in for so long and see the beautiful light all around me.
It has taken time for me to embrace and fully love this new healthy lifestyle I have gained. Now that I have, why hide it any longer. In 2012 I would hide from anyone, and everyone. I would hide with a bowl of chips and just eat. In 2013 I started to see the light all around me, I tossed the bowl of chips out the door and committed to a transformation not just for me but for my family as well. And for 2014 I want to help you, your family, your friends and your neighbors see the light, step out of the box, and toss the chips away and create a transformation just as I did.
Give me 90 days.......We will go on a transformation together, and in the end only greatness can come out of what we have accomplished., WHO'S IN?
