Just a quick disclaimer, I in no way think that I have "arrived". I know I have a long way to go but it just feels so good to have gotten as far as I have.
Okay, now I'm back. In January I wrote about my New Years "resolutions" here. Guys I think I'm actually doing them. I've been working so hard the past few weeks to do these things and man I think I am.
No, I'm not even close to 100% there. The list I made is a life long journey. But as we are approaching February it feels so good to be able to say I haven't given up and that I can feel the growth.
It feels so good to feel growth occur. I can't tell you how many moments I've wanted to just give up, and break down. Actually, I did break down once. But I used it as a turning point. But each time I've almost given up but didn't I've felt myself get stronger.
Guys life is so hard. Just when you think you've got something figured out, something else happens. But at the same time life is so beautiful. The ability we are given through Christ to change and become stronger is amazing. I find myself getting better at things I never thought I could, and I know it is because I'm not doing it alone.
And it isn't just my soul, my spirit, that is getting stronger. So is my body. I've had a few bad headaches the past few weeks. Nothing out of the ordinary for me. But I haven't even had to take anything for them because it is getting easier each day to push through them. Not to mention I've started running again and I've been able to push myself harder then ever.
Life is amazing! And I know I only feel that way because I'm doing it along side my best friend who is Christ. Through Him I can do hard things. I finally believe it, because I'm finally seeing myself really grow.

I totally get what you mean! I'm working really hard on keeping my resolutions and it hasn't been easy. Life is better when you do hard things! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteIt is so funny how we avoid doing hard things, but turns out just like you said, life is so much better when you do!
DeleteI love to read inspiring posts first thing in the morning. Thank you for this Sierra! The words going through my head since I woke up have been "I've decided to use my powers for good today" (which is how I work everyday, any way ;-> ) Looking back over this week I had to do some tasks that I've been putting off but hey, I finally did them and I am relieved!
ReplyDeleteHappy #NYNB!
Ann that is so awesome! Way to keep pushing forward to get those things done.
DeleteThanks for the encouragement! I love how positive and thankful you are :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome post! That's awesome that you're sticking to your resolutions! I love making goals at the beginning of the year, because it makes me so happy to check things off my list. Yay for overcoming obstacles and getting things done!
ReplyDeleteI love this post! Good job on sticking to your resolutions!! I'm super impressed.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear you are on track to achieve what you mapped out for yourself. I know that feels awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis has been my mantra for the past 4 months (which ironically was the same time my baby was born. Hmm...) and after reading your blog a bit, I really think you can pull off whatever you set your mind to! You're awesome! :)
