Nothing has changed but the date

While I'm glad that some people have chosen to start their New Year with yet another resolution that statistics have shown most won't keep, I chose to start early. I've changed my eating habits, I study my Bible more often, I spend more time in prayer and meditation, and I've already lost 10+ pounds. This doesn't make me exceptional by any means, nor do I intend to put anyone down, but truly nothing has changed but the date for me. Bouncing from year to year starting all over again means that you may have thrown out last year successes and incomplete projects. I intend on finishing every project that was started last year, and seeing it through to its completion. What I will not drag into not just another year, but another day are bad habits that prevented or detoured me from reaching the finish line sooner. While we can pray and ask God to direct our paths, we are still required to stay in position to receive his blessings and move forward in what he's instructed us to do. Through prayer and meditation, it was made clear to me that I was not pursuing Orangeview Family Services as much as I could/should be. While getting used to four kids has taken some time, now that George is home I'm able to get a break in my day to make some other meetings I've had to put off. I have worked for other companies in sales and marketing, one particular company I made them over $22k in two months, yet I had not committed the time it takes to do the same for my own organization. I am now giving myself to doing what I should have finished last year, and refocusing on business. I have a new level of excitement regarding Orangeview and my health. The Joneses have lots to do this first quarter of the year. We plan on getting pregnant, reorganizing our businesses, purchasing the five acres we currently live on as well as me returning to school. I heard a radio commercial recently that stated "don't attempt to keep up with Joneses, chase them down", we intend on making you do just that this year. Move forward this year and forget about the items you won't stick to, focus on finishing the tasks that were left unaccomplished last year.
