As the new year approaches, I have been thinking about what kind of changes, I'd like to make. For the past few years, I've been very cynical about making new year resolutions. I have failed every resolution, i've vowed to uphold. What makes this year different?

That is a very good question. I've made recent revelations about myself and how much I don't like the person I've become. I've been wallowing in my mistakes and focusing on all the bad things in my life. I realized I've been wasting so much time and energy on the things that really doesn't matter.

I've been so inspired to be a faithful Christian. I am so weak though. I try to stand strong but anger and bitterness plagues my heart. I've always been an emotional person and a hot head. I need to learn to be able to stay calm and to really think through situations. Also, I need to really think before I speak. Words are so dangerous.

So what makes this year different? I think, my heart is different... it's willingness to change. My heart was not willing before but it is now. I was waiting for something to move me but it was me that needed to initiate the move.

I will meet with Him everyday, I will sing His praises everyday, I will trust in Him everyday, I will love Him everyday, I will have faith in Him everyday, I will rely on Him everyday, I will learn everyday, I will listen everyday.

Praise God! Yes, we're all weak but only with God's help and spirit we are able to do all things. I'm with you on the anger and bitterness too...it's so hard to let go especially when it hurts so much. I'll continue to pray for you!
