What is the #1 New Years Resolution in America? Duh. "Lose Weight".
I went back to the gym after 10 days of being sick and the YMCA was noticably more crowded. It's to be expected of course, but it still took me a little off guard!
And it got me thinking.
As a believer, all of us should have that same resolution. Lose weight. Baggage. Turmoil. Heaviness. What a perfect time to throw off the rearview mirror and set your eyes on the bigger window, new path, and new year ahead of you!
When you lose weight (physically) people can't help but notice! A sweet friend of mine recently lost over 30lbs and every time I see her she looks better and better! She has always been gorgeous, but when the literal pounds came off her body, she lost emotional "weight" with them. She now carries herself with more confidence. More purpose. It's obvious!
Lose the weight. Leave it in 2010. No matter how deep your hurts were, how frustrating circumstances have been, take this opportunity to shed it off and start fresh.
It will feel so good! And unlike having to shed pounds physically, it can fall off when you decide to let it go.
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
Be blessed.
