The New Year’s resolutions I failed to make are taunting me.

- Lose 30 lbs.

- Begin attending women’s Bible study again.

- Pray for my husband every day.

- Pray with my husband every day.

- Pray for and with my children every day.

- Really figure out how to teach our children to be more loving to each other.

- Have a better attitude.

- Get out of debt (starting by developing better spending habits).

I could go on…

I guess that’s why I don’t make “resolutions” at New Year’s. I can’t seem to focus on just one thing. Instead, I feel like I must change my whole life in one fell swoop.

And when I try to change my whole life like that, I inevitably fail.

But if I could just take things “one day at a time…”

So today, I will do my best. Today, I will seek God and ask for His leading. Today, I will pray for my family. Today, I will ask Him to help me make wise choices when it comes to what I eat and what I spend. Today, I will ask Him to help keep my attitude in check.

Just for today.

And if I fail or fall, well, tomorrow is another today.

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” ~Lamentations 3:22-24
