New Year's Commitments


I hope everyone had a great weekend and a wonderful New Years! It is hard to believe another year has passed by and a new one is here.  I was able to spend the last few days in Jacksonville, Florida with my family and watch the Mississippi State Bulldogs win the Gator Bowl!  As I begin to think about the new year and everything that will be going on, the first thing that comes to mind are "new year's resolutions." Every year, people use January 1st as an opportunity to start over or begin something new in their life.  I want you to think of new year's "commitments" this year, rather than new year's "resolutions." Most of the time, a new year's resolution lasts about 3 weeks before things are back to the old way. But, by making new year's commitment this year, maybe you can stick to your goals and complete them!  Some of you want to stop smoking, drinking, or using bad language. Others want to lose weight, get in shape, or eat healthier.  These are things I have heard the past few days, but the list goes on forever.  All of these have something in common... Achievability! Whatever your new year's commitment is this year, make it something that is attainable for you! A lot of times, we set themselves up for failure before even starting because our goals are not realistic.  So, whatever you want to do this year.. be committed to it! It is a lot easier to achieve a goal if you write it down, so give that a try! You can do it if you really want to.. I know you can! 

Proverbs 16:3
