New Year, but I don't See the New Me Yet!

The time has come again! Everyone is ready for this year to be the year of the better them. Let me tell you first hand there are things that I would change about myself, but there are also so many things that I LOVE about myself, and wouldn't change for the world! It seems that everyone, even myself, sees the new year as the perfect time to become that better version of themselves, but why all the pressure to do this change on the spot. Change within yourself is something that takes time and prayer! I am learning that lesson everyday. I try to change myself, but am I really trying? I am expecting immediate results. For example the, oh so popular, weight loss resolution. Everyone wants to loss weight, but most, including myself, don't want to put in the work. Even those that do the work, are expecting quick results. This is proven when you just look inside of a gym in January and then you look again in February. The change in amount of people is crazy! Why can't we seem to accomplish the change we want? We are impatient people who forget that the way to get change is hard work and ALOT of prayer. God is the change, and he works within us! Even when wanting something like weight loss, God can strengthen are minds to endure and persevere and achieve our goal. With a little bit of work and a lot a bit of prayer, anything is possible!
