Consistency....it's a choice

So I started this year with big hopes and ideas of being"consistent" in all areas of my life. My spiritual, physical, relationships, leadership.... I posted on Facebook the other day that this whole consistency thing isn't working out so well for me....but them I realized, like so many other things in our daily lives that it's a choince. A daily, moment by moment, mine and mine alone CHOICE. SO if I'm struggling with it, it's no ones fault but my own. And the truth is, I have reasons, good reasons to make that choice...they are...

Hebrews 12:1-3

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and

the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. ²Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the

cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ³Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

So this is my prayer for 2010. May this perseverance be my strength so that I don't grow weary and lose heart!

Today I learned or was reminded...

My kids need me to be their biggest cheerleader!

Walking through the tough stuff with your kids makes walking through the good stuff so much sweeter.

It's our job to invest in our kids friends. The payoff- they have an adult cheering them on.

Prayer doesn't change things...it changes me.

Friends are a sweet reminder of HIS unconditional love.

What I've learned today...

A goal without a daily plan of action is just a wish.
Goals have to be specific, measurable, your own, have a timeline and written down
My goals are attainable if I just shut-up and do something daily to effect the change
