Goals...
I always have these great goals in mind. Some of the latest...
- Date night - once a week...went great for the first couple months, now...it's once a blue moon!
- Lose weight/exercise...went great for about 6 weeks, then we moved and now...never happens!
- Debt free...went great for about...NEVER!
- Get Allie sleeping in her own bed...went great for about...the first 3 hours of the night!
- Read my Bible daily...that one lasted a week.
- No swearing...that lasted about 2 weeks!
- No TV...oh yeah, that one is going STRONG!!!! (Helps you have to actually hook it up)
- Stay within a budget...that's actually going pretty good! Needs some improvement!
Do you get the picture? I set them, but it only last a moment and then in the toilet it goes! Why is that? Life is too busy? I work too much? I have too much to do?
Um...NO! Hello, Jolene, you lack much self-discipline! So instead of praying, "God, please provide for this or that, please help me not to swear, please help Allie sleep in her bed, please help me lose weight, please give me a desire for YOUR word..." My prayer will be, "GOD, PLEASE GIVE ME SELF-DISCIPLINE!"
