Craig and I are back to somewhat normal work schedules. He is working 8-3ish all week and I am working 8-5pm. We are really starting to pick up the pace in our office with lots of applications, phone calls and walk ins! Craig gets to enjoy another week of the buses not running on campus! Apparently, the buses on campus cause him some headaches... I have been thinking about this whole New Year new you thing and here are my thoughts:
New Years is a time of new resolutions. I say that's great for some, but not for me...I need something stronger than a resolution. So I am making a promise to myself this year to not let people, things, and situations get the best of me. I've wasted so much time and energy on things and people that end aren't worth it in 2008. You may ask how will I do this? Well, I am inviting Jesus/God/Holy Spirit into my heart so that I can act in love and kindness so when people say hurtful things about my weight, my husband, our financial situation, and family. I can pause, ask Jesus for help and then be on my way. I do realize that when people say hurtful things it's actually something that they need to deal with and maybe I can help them through it.
I know that I don't have a lot of money and have few resources, but that won't stop me from helping someone in need. I know that there are some situations that I am in that won't change any time soon, but I won't dwell in self loathing and fear! I will not let my current situation define who I am. Can I get an Amen?!
