Be the Person You Want to Become
Last Sunday I made a resolution: Be the person I want to Become. You see, I have this image in my mind of the kind of person that I want to become someday. I'd meet someone cool and think, "I'll be more like them someday." More outgoing, more disciplined, healthier, more generous, more welcoming, a better cook, friendlier, deeper. Well I made a resolution to be that person NOW instead of putting if off for "someday." The first thing I decided was to get serious about discipline: with running and reading the word. Before, these two activities have been rather sporadic. I would fit then in wherever I could. I read the word a lot for work purposes, and sometimes I would cheat and count that as quality time spent in the word. Not that reading the Bible at work counts for nothing - that's very far from true! But there is much to gain from reading the word on my own, in the morning, to start my day seeking God's face. I'm happy to report that I've ran 3 times this week in the morning, only skipping yesterday due to heavy morning rain.
