Remember when you are making your New Year's Resolutions you must sit down and think about them first. We all make our resolutions and find that we break them within a day of so afterwards. The main mistake that me all make is to make a lot of them and things that are way to difficult to keep.
Start off with goal that are doable, for example if you wish to loose some weight set a goal of 5 pounds first.... NOT 35 pounds! After you reach that goal set it for another 5 pounds and so on until you reach you main goal of that 35 pounds. Looking to go to the gym and to get in shape? Go and make that goal of a few times a week, BUT! do not work out so hard that you give up because you are sore...little by little until you reach that level where you enjoy going and keep going.
This also goes if you wish to build your relationship with God. DONOT just jump into the Bible and try to read it all in a few days. Set up a daily plan of reading. Also when you do your reading you must understand what you are reading.. If you don't understand something ask your Pastor. Don't worry that he will laugh about any of your questions. He won't because he does care. If you don't have a church or a Pastor then look up on the internet or in the phone book local churches near you that you can visit. Or ask a friend where they go and pay a visit. You will know the right church when you see it...It is like coming home.....
Lastly if you fail at one or all of your resolutions just restart them...As a child remember falling off your bike? I did many times.... But don't tell anyone... WINK...
Dust yourself off and try it again.... Ask God for guidance............... Have a wonderful and blessed New Years.
God Bless,
Pastor Ken Reihl
