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.

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