New Years resolutions are something I am very familiar with. I am familiar with idealizing how my life will change if I’ll start going to the gym or if I really do start to study more, but year after year I have always let my resolutions slip through the cracks. But this year, I am doing a continuation of what I started last year.

Last year I decided to change my relationship with God. It actually started December 2015 when I would drive to work and I started to pray everyday. A year later, I still do my best to pray every day. And now that 2017 is almost here, I will continue to work on my relationship with Christ, except this year in a new way.

This year I will become healthier through Christ. I have worked on my relationship with Christ, and I believe that he wants me to be the best me I can be. The healthiest me I can be.

I am making a life change for the better. I am not going to start going to the gym and eating healthier because I want to be skinny. That is not the mentality that I have.

With God, I am going to become healthier. In being healthier, I will lose weight, but it will make me better. It will better my physical health, and myself.

I can do all things through Christ, and I have every ounce of myself invested in him. He will walk with me through this experience through this health change, and when I feel tempted with unhealthy snacks he will be there to turn my head from the temptation.

I will continue to work on my physical and emotional relationship with Christ. Nothing happens over night, and I do not expect it to.

Any health change is a journey, and I am prepared for the challenge with God by my side.
