This is a new year.
Really every day is a new day. His mercies are new every morning. No matter what choices we've made, we can make new ones.
Sometimes it seems so overwhelming. How do I eat right, read my Bible, do the dishes, be a good wife, drink all the water, fit in my 12, 000 steps, close all my rings, oh and be a good person??? How??? Every. single. day???
It's tough. I get it.
I've always told my kids, how do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time.
Not that elephants taste all that great.
But you get the gist.
Take one step.
Do the next right thing.
Read the ingredients.
Put back that cookie.
Open God's Word.
Say a kind word.
Take a drink out of that cute cup you got.
Just one thing.
Then another,
then another
and before you know it, you are doing all the things. Just wake up and do one thing again and you got this!
You can do it!
Sometimes, you'll take a step backwards, but that's ok too. Just start over.
It's a new year!! New you!
