Each new year many people (myself included) make grand goals/resolutions to live better and make positive changes. I have many goals for self improvement (fitness, family, faith, and financial).
However, this year I am shaking things up a bit. I am not making any grand lists or sharing specific goals. Instead I will be focusing on one specific word that encompasses all my specific personal goals for improvement.
My focus word for 2012 is Peace. I am going to strive to find peace in all circumstances.
Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise (although that would be SUPER nice!!), trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of these things and STILL feel calm in your heart.
I choose to find peace with the scale, my body, and my fitness goals.
I choose to find peace with life’s circumstances and fully give God control of the craziness.
I choose to have peace with my finances.
I choose peace instead of stress, noise, and distraction with my children and family.
I choose peace for 2012.

I enjoyed your blog. I received that word ‘ peace’ I stand on the word of the Lord concerning things that may cause me to worry or lose peace. Ps 138:8 The Lord will perfect that which concerns me …..
I also choose to find peace with my body, the scale and my fitness goals for the year . Amen
