Fit Bit (New Year/ Fresh Start)
I know at this stage in my life, I have pretty much given up
on New Years resolutions. I have given
up because I have had years of failures.
This year I am remembering the attitude I had toward my alcoholic
behavior (which used to be my annual resolution). I had tried to quit drinking for 29 years; I
had decided that I would never be able to quit so why even try. I thought to myself, I need to find someone
to love me just the way I am, drunk and all.
I prayed, “I can’t do this Lord, help me find someone to love me. “
Surrender, it is an amazing beginning. On my own, I could not quit or start anything
and see it through completely. With the
help of God, I have been able to stay sober for 11 years. I stay clean because I found someone that
loves me just the way “I am”.
Jesus. I don’t ever want to loose
the closeness I feel toward my Lord.
When I was drinking the bottle had become my obsession. I couldn’t love God or others because I was
too busy loving my booze. It is sad for
me to think of who I was, but I thank God that is no longer who I am. I am a new creation through Jesus
Christ.
Most of you are not struggling with alcoholism, but all of
you are struggling with something, It is our humane condition. For your “Fresh Start” in 2016 put God first,
surrender all. Then Watch His wondrous works.
Luke 10:27 “ And he answering said, “Though shalt love
the Lord Thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
strength and with all thy mind and thy neighbor as thyself.”
Luke 9:62 “And Jesus said unto him, “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking
back is fit for the kingdom of God.””
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
