Self-discipline, power, will......whatever you want to call it

Well it is 12 days into the new year and some things are moving toward the new and some things are still stuck in the past. Why do we give in so easily? Why do we let our flesh dictate feelings and actions? Why do we rationalize that we can't say no when in reality we can. Before I go too far, read all the way through. I'm not getting deep, just practical.

So why do we say yes to the sweets when we know we have the power to say no?
Why do we say yes to getting upset about something someone did or said when we have the power to forgive and move on?
Why do we do we try to please everyone when all God said was be yourself?
Why do we speak what we should keep to ourselves?
Why do we do what we know we shouldn't instead of what we should?

God has given us the power to look at the mountain and say move. The mountain could be some crisis or simply saying no to a snack that's not healthy.

Be a difference maker in 2014. Let God take over you, all of you. Give Him your will("your way" of doing things, "your way" of thinking about things, and "your way" of going through life.). Don't miss the God moments, the whispers, and the quiet times where God reveals how the pieces all fit together.

Challenged and determined that this year will be different. Looking to be fruitful, not just busy.....
Until next time,
~Melissa
