Well its the beginning of the new year and time to step back and take a look at myself and where I might be headed. I started a new diet and have met with some very good successes over the past couple of months. This after discovering that I had reached an all time high for my weight back in August 2008. I have a goal this year to make at least 75% of the way towards my goal of 215 pounds by the end of the year. You notice that I did not say to make the entire goal, that's about 70 pounds and a lot can happen between now and then. It's also a time to look back to my relationship with the Lord. In that, I am sad to say, I have failed miserably. I find myself talking less and less to Him. I am sure that I have grieved Him in the process. That was not my intent but without constant prayer (1 Tim 2:8) and working out your salvation (Phil 2:12), you tend to fall away. I think for this next year I need to focus on being contious of sin in my life. I know that it is there, I have just been ignoring it and that separates me from fellowship with my Lord (1 John 1:3-7). Time to act is now and I think that I will start with some quiet time on a regular basis. When I was having a quiet time on a regular basis I was filled with an overwhelming sense that the Lord was caring for me. Now in light of some developments at work, I really need to get back into the fold solidly again. If you are reading this pray for me to get back to where I should be.
