New Year, New Me!

I don't think this post could be any later if I tried. Maybe it could. I guess I'm just living up to my blog title. In the beginning of the year I made the usual resolutions, Lose weight, feel great, get my life together, etc. It's day 22 and how am I doing? I don't want to talk about it lol.

I have decided at day 22 of the new year though, that I am going to try something that I should have been doing all along and have fallen short of many times before. If I do this, everything else will work itself out. I have decided to work extremely hard to repair and continue to develop my relationship with my Heaven Father.

I feel that I am doing "okay" with it. But I've noticed that the only time I pray, is when I'm blessing my food. I know that God knows the wants and needs of my heart. However, when I pray, I'm exercising my faith that He exists and will see me through ALL of my endeavors.

I have also made the commitment to read The Book of Mormon from cover to cover before my birthday (Valentine's Day). I, like many other Latter-Day Saints fall short of this goal somewhere after 1st Nephi. This is a goal intend to reach.

Developing my relationship will help me strive to become a better person by "simply" living the commandments that he has sent forth for me. I say "simply", because while keeping the commandments is easy for a while, we are taught that we must "Endure to the End". We don't know when the "end" is, so we have to take it day by day.

We will see in the days to come what sort of progress I've made. Wish me luck.

God Bless
