"New year, new you"
I have lost count of how many times I have heard/seen that phrase in the new year. I don't know why I'm surprised either. It's tradition to see the new year as an opportunity to start over. To tell you the truth, though, it kind of bugs me. Why are we so obsessed with starting over? Why can we not just take the old experiences and grow from them?
Starting over can be a good thing. Some times we need to get away from a past event that may have been negative. Some times we just need a fresh start. But, we don't need to forget about that event; we should take it and build upon it.
A few weeks ago I wrote about what a roller coaster 2011 was for the Mobleys. Even though it was a scoach cuckoo, I wouldn't change it for the world. All of our adventures were stellar learning experiences that helped build our faith and our marriage.
My question for y'all is, how are you taking 2012 and making it a better you? Not a new you, because you should never lose who you are, but a better you? Are you going to the gym more? Eating healthier? Reading the Bible more? Communicating with loved ones more? What? I'd love to hear about it!

I am in the process of reading the entire bible in a year... My relationship with Christ is a better me :)
ReplyDeleteI'm learning to go with the flow more. I'm always WAY too "planny"- as my boyfriend says... so I'm really learning to just have a better attitude when things don't go my way.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to get closer to God! Help others more and better myself in every aspect! It's going to be a great year! I hope it is for you too!
