I’m still here.  Isn’t easy to follow your familiar path.  It’s hard to venture out to make new paths.  But I haven’t forgotten that I have decided….to make those new paths.

It’s not so much now about that decision it’s more about making the smaller decisions like to get out an exercise instead of staying inside my comfy house snoozing the time away.  I have the tools and the support so there are no excuses.

I thought today that either I will discipline my body or my body will discipline me.  Great thought. Sounds even better when I write it down.  But….it’s easier thought/written down than done.  I am not looking for sympathy.  I am just trying to be honest with myself.

I have decided that I need to take better care of myself.  Now I have decide to do it…again… and then again….and then again….
But isn’t that the way we do things, change things, grow.  The Bible says to forgive 70×70.  I think that set the precedent.  It’s rarely we accomplish anything in the first time around.  How many perfect papers were written the first time?  Only God has the right to brag because it took Him just the first time to do anything right ( creation to name one).

Tonight I am writing to remind myself not to give up.  Not to give in. Not to settle.  I am not discouraged but I have to admit I am a bit indifferent, complacent possibly.  I am used to the familiar path and it’s very easy to just keep going down it and say that I am doing something different.

But the path is worn out in the same places and the path has the same deceiving look of satisfaction and the path leads to the same place.  Kathy, choose better. Turn now.  You can do this.  

2nd Corthians 5:17 (NASB)

¹⁷ Therefore if anyone is in Christ, [a]he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
