Today I read the daily bread and the commentary was as below.....
Was it a coincidence?!? I dunno! I like to believe that it is God's way of speaking to me.
I believe God is telling me to rely on Him in and not on my own will power to achieve a task....Including loosing weight!
Hahahahaha!!!!
Typical resolutions in January are to lose weight, exercise more, spend less time at work and more time with family—maybe even stop chatting on the cell phone while driving.
It’s not surprising that we want to change the things in our lives that we’re unhappy about—even though most New Year’s resolutions are kept for no more than 3 weeks.
What if you were to ask God what He wants you to change, improve, or begin this year? He might tell you to:
• Demonstrate more of the fruit of the Spirit in your life, which is “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Gal. 5:22-23).
• “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who . . . persecute you” (Matt. 5:44).
• “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
• “Be content with such things as you have” (Heb. 13:5).
• “Walk according to His commandments” (2 John 1:6).
As believers and new creations, we can be free from old patterns and failures. We must ask God to help us live each day in the power of the Holy Spirit. Then we can shed the old and embrace the new (2 Cor. 5:17). — Cindy Hess Kasper
How can we live to please the Lord?By knowing what He says to doAnd trusting in the Spirit’s strengthTo make us into someone new. —Sper
Resolutions are easier to keep when you rely on God

My Prayer!
Dear Lord,
Help me to rely on you always! Forgive me of my pride thinking that I can do things by myself. Help me to be discipline to loose weight (not for vanity purpose) but for health reasons!
Please give me the strength to overcome my addictions!
In Jesus name I pray!
AMEN!
