16 DAYS INTO THE NEW YEAR !!!!!

Day 16 into the new year, God only knows how may of us have sloggeg on with all those resolutions we made as the clock struck 12 signalling the start of the new year and of course a right of passage for a lot of us to set our selves on a new course for the life we hope to live in the new year.

I am one not to jump on the wagon and sit, reflect and write about the warts i would like purged out of my life on the 1st of January, rather i gradually build into resolution making as day unfold into another and today being day 16 in the new year i am taking little steps at not being afraid to look at what has not worked thus far in my life.

Each start of the year I look into inspirational messages from people like T D Jakes, Iyanla etc to hear their take on how I can change and improve things in my life and I am glad to say this year my first inspirational message which will be my first resolution is from one of my favourite books. "Daily Cornbread : 365 Secrets for a Heathy Mind, Body, and Spirit"

This is a daily motivational book that aims to feed your mind, body and spirit with scriptures, tidbits and suggestions that go a long way to creating a healthy you. On January 1 the author decides writes about putting "God First" and i should say i have been struggling with this for quite a long time now.

Upon reflection and deep regret i seem to put God on the agenda when i am in that palce where things are bleak and God seems to be the only one who can put things into perspective. The author gives these suggestions to how we can achieve this:

• Make prayer your first activity of the day
• Put the word "God" in your computer code, ATM pin, or voicemail passcode
• Do something God-like today.(Treat someone lovingly)

I am hoping that this is one resolution i put to practise and not slack on, as even the bible commands us to seek God in all things, be they joyful, sorrowful, tearful.

I truely look forward to waking up everyday shouting "HAPPY LORD'S DAY"
