Idea: Taking ownership of my choices to take back the power of my life so I can be a better steward of all God has given me.
I am overweight. I am not as active as I should be. I am addicted to Netflix (and not in the internet-glamorized cool way, but in the unhealthy, watch it instead of talk to people, deal with pain, or spend time with Jesus – addicted). I have made a choice to play the victim and distance myself from the responsibility of my actions that have led me to this moment in time. And it stops here.
I am taking ownership of those choices. All the times I chose triple-chocolate ice cream instead of forgiving someone. All the times I chose Grey’s Anatomy over going for a walk. All the times I chose to let my excuses me bigger than my faith in God’s promise.
I am responsible for my yard: my attitude, my feelings, and my choices. I am no longer a victim of circumstance, abuse, or personality (yes, I use my personality as an excuse). I chose today to be the best ‘me’ I can be and to celebrate my progress in Christ.
Ownership of myself to become the best steward I can. Everything I have is God’s and I want to allow Him to flow through me.
It’s only with Him guiding me can I change these deep-rooted thoughts, habits, and daily choices. I can already feel a shift. I can already tell a difference. I’m not perfect and I know there will be days where I slip and fall. But every minute is a new minute. Every hour is a new hour. Every morning is a new day and I will have the chance to learn from the past and do better this time around.
