Day 18 - Time to Change

Okay.  I have admitted my need to simplify my life (about 10 years ago.)  I started a blog to talk about it (about 2 weeks ago.)  My support system is in place.  I have a goal.

Now it's time to actually start changing.  I've been talking about it for years.  I can talk forever about just about anything.  This is a topic that I have spent a good deal of time researching, thinking about and talking about.  I could talk beyond forever about it.

The time has come to actually change.  Ouch.  I just felt the bandaid rip off and it took a bunch of hair with it. 

This is not going to be easy.  It will involve some discipline to break bad habits.  It will take some suffering to give up things I have become accustomed to (soda) and replace with things that are better for me.  This will take a committment, not just words. 

So, I revisit the list from week 1. 

1.  Go one day without soda.

2.  Walk 5 miles over the week.

3.  Speak only kind words for 1 full day.

4.  Read my Bible every day.

Here's the kicker.  I need to do these things with a willing heart for change.  Not just so I can check them off my list. 

Please pray for me.

  1. For me, change always begins with checking off the list. The willing heart for change comes later.
