Justkedra's Thoughts

Why do we set resolution? Good question, I've been wondering this for years now. Is it just what we do, a tradition, or something to keep our focus for a little while? Well, the past two years I have not set a New Years Resolution. Why? I have figured out that I can start a lot of things, but I never seem to quite finish them, or finish well for that matter. Most of my life I've stated in making resolutions, that I wanted to loose weight, start saving money, read the whole Bible, stop cussing, and travel to name a few. Well I can tell you that over the years I have done very little of these things. (Loose weight, hahahahaha; more like gained, start saving money; more like HUH, WHAT, read the whole Bible; more like I'll read the New Testament, stop cussing; more like I'm still working on it, and travel more, well I've been a couple of places.) The Bible says in Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind....

To give someone a compliment is nice, But what really gets me going is when you give a compliment and they don't except it or put themselves down. For instance (true story) conversation with a pregnant woman... Wow, you look Amazing, Beautiful, you got the whole pregnant glow and all!! Really, well I feel like a beached whale, with all this weight I've gained, I can't fit anything! Oh! OK, I thought that's what you're supposed to do when you become pregnant, right?  I want a baby and I'm happy, but not the weight gain, feeling miserable, and unlike myself. OK this is where I wanted to just blow up and go off!! I didn't of course, you know with all the pregnant hormones I felt it was best not to say a word (if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, Right!). I walked away with this thought (or thoughts). First, you have been blessed to carry life inside of you, A Miracle!!! A lot of women would love, and have died to be in your positio...
