My New Year Resolution

You know the drill. Every New Year, people make the resolution to do the resolution last year that they promised themselves to do the year before that they originally decided to do the year before. Whether it's going to the gym more, getting fit, dropping bad habits, making new habits, the whole resolution things seems to be pretty pointless. And sometimes I think, why wait till January 1st to make a change when you can do something right now? Why wait till after the holidays till that magical first day of the year? I just doesn't make sense to me.

I tried the whole resolution thing when I was younger, but I even then, it seemed silly to me. 

But for this year, I have decided to make a resolution and so far, I've been pretty good at sticking with it. 

The resolution I made was to read this book that I was given a few months ago. 

"The Resolution for Women" by Priscilla Shirer. 

Perfect right? 

I didn't think much of the book when I first got it, and it took a while for me to actually sit down and really get into it. But since I've been home from college, it's been a lot easier. 

This is the perfect book for making resolutions. Not necessarily those New Years resolutions, but ones that shouldn't have to wait for the perfect day or the pointless ones that can simply be forgotten about and dropped.

This is life changing stuff. 

For me at least.
 I would highly recommend it for any woman out there.
It's so easy to read a chapter a day and sometimes, I find that the words are speaking directly to me. It's amazing to see God speaking to me through other texts.
This woman Priscilla is incredible. The stories and insights she shares are so uplifting and encouraging.
So far, her words have given me courage and a reason to be myself, and love who I am. I am here for a reason and everything that is happening right now is for a specific purpose so I can learn and grow.
So instead of making an empty resolution at the beginning of each year, do something now. Make the resolution and do something about it now. Don't wait for the "right moment".
