I started a new blog called Weight Loss Steve. I joined a Biggest Loser contest at work, and I’m trying to lose weight using the Fat Burning Furnace system. Head on over to the site to follow my progress. Of course, also have a Twitter and a Facebook Fan Page setup.
Well, it’s a new year, and thus far, it’s been a rather relaxing one. I’ve taken a few days off of work (rather than around Christmas) to be able to start this new year off right. I’ve never really made any “New Year’s Resolutions” before, minus the ones when I was a kid that said “I’m gonna lose weight” and then promptly failed by January 2.
This year, however, is different. It’s a new season in my life. There’s a lot different this year than previous years, and I think it’s time to set some Revolutions to make sure this season counts for something.
Family
While Malinda and I have been together for over two and a half years, 2010 is our first full married year. This year I commit to trying to be more understanding, more patient, and more loving. I also commit to keeping the romance alive, fanning the flame, and not taking her for granted. The Lord has us together for a reason, we’re married and a couple for a reason, and I love her dearly. I need to keep these thoughts at the forefront of my mind with ever word and action between us. It’s time to take a proactive stance and not let things become stagnant.
Faith
I’ve let my relationship with God waver over the years, sometimes rocking the world for Jesus, and sometimes not talking to Him for months at a time. I don’t want to stay in this place, and I certainly don’t want to backslide. This is the year I press in and let His glory burn off what’s not of Him. I’ve started a 90 day reading plan, and I’d like to read the Bible 3 or 4 times this year. I also want to speak in tongues daily. I need to find the time to spend with Him and just speak. Every time I have a problem, I remember Pastor Carl’s advice for any problem I’ve ever sought council with: Speak in tongues more.
And I need to have more faith in action. This year I commit to getting off my duff and working for the Lord in a way that I’ve never done before. I need to speak of Him. I need to pray for people. And this year we’re pressing on for miracles. Once we push and see the big things, the small things will not be of worry. I feel pressed in by the Holy Spirit to see a paraplegic walk again and to see the dead breathe again. I want people to see Jesus through all I do, and I want Him glorified in all aspects of my life.
Work
This year I commit to being a harder and better worker at my job. The Lord has blessed me with a great job, and I want to be fruitful in everything that I do there. I commit to speaking words of life there, being uplifting, and being dependable.
Internet Marketing
This year my wife and I will pushing harder into this Internet Marketing business we’ve started. We’re going to commit real time into making things happen, and are trusting in a real revenue stream. I also commit to keeping this blog updated, so other people in our position can see our trials and tribulations, and hopefully learn something from what we endure.
Fitness
I’m out of shape. I’ve gained weight since taking this job. It’s all taking a toll. This year I’m making some lifestyle changes. This year I will goto the gym (if even just on weekends) and start point counting again. I need to get my weight under control before I start having serious issues because of it.
Wrap-up
In the end, I must remember that Jan 1, 2010 . . . Everything is the Same. Things won’t necessarily be easy, or go smoothly because I wish to see a change in my life. I still reap today what I sowed yesterday. But what I sow today will be reaped tomorrow.
