It's interesting how we as people put off things that are good for us... like exercise. Repentance. Eating better. Forgiving one another. Learning something new... or old. Changing our rhythms. Getting better at procrastinating...
Sometimes I think when we put things off long enough we don't just forget that they are good for us... we forget who we are. Yeah, I know, some of the nagging voices just need to be let go. They are voices that are trying to remake us into an image that we were never intended to be. But the other voices (or maybe Voice) represent a type of hope... one that we must learn not to be afraid of... one we must learn to embrace if we are to become who God is calling us to be.
So here is to a new year of hopes yet realized... and verses yet unwritten.

This is true. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my busy lifestyle I forget who I am as a person because I am so used to how I portray myself professionaly. I have decided to make a commitment to balance time with myself as well as with friends and family. This is something that I cannot afford to put off any longer. Good Post!
