Let me start off by introducing myself. My name is Melissa and I have a wonderful husband is who in the United States Navy and I have two gorgeous Irish twins. I am originally from South Florida and now we are stationed in Virginia which has it's ups and downs. Soon we will be moving to San Diego which I am so excited about and I've been wanting to go back ever since we left. Anyways..I have decided to start a blog to just talk about my life and the way I live it.
This morning I took my first Purple Pill. I am not exactly sure what to expect I am hoping for the best though. My goal is to be better than my old self by December 2011, when my husband comes home from deployment. I have a plan I am trying to set in motion..
This morning I took my first Purple Pill. I am not exactly sure what to expect I am hoping for the best though. My goal is to be better than my old self by December 2011, when my husband comes home from deployment. I have a plan I am trying to set in motion..
- Step 1 - Purple Pills
- Step 2 - Eat Healthy (5 meals a day, biggest meal in the morning and no food past 7pm)
- Step 3 - Treadmill (Getting on it every day and be running by Dec at a good pace for a good distance)
I am bound and determined to meet my goal. I deserve to be a better woman for myself. My husband deserves a better wife and my children deserve a better mother.
My goals aren't all vain and for my physical health..I want to be a better Christian and draw closer to God everyday. I want to be an example to everyone I meet, I want people to be awed by my words and actions. I want God to use me to shine his light through me. I want to be proof that if you just believe that God can, He will. I know that with God's help I will accomplish everything I want out of my life and I intend to do so.
I hope you enjoy reading my daily (or not so daily) life. Reading my trials and tribulations and watching me grow into a stronger better woman. I encourage everyone to do a challenge with me every blog.
Today's challenge is probably the hardest one I will ever post but it is the foundation to being a better person. It is something I struggle with everyday and won't be easy to do but I must and you should too.
Forgive
Forgive those who have wronged you. Choose forgiveness over hate because you are only hurting yourself. Ask God to help you because this won't be easy but it must be done.
Lord, please help me forgive ___________ for all they wrong they have done to me. Our instincts are to hold a grudge against them but I am giving it up to you today Jesus. Please help me show mercy and grace towards __________. You tell us in Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. I want to follow what you say Lord, I want to be the person you want me to be. I will lift up _________ and chose to forgive them even though they have hurt me. Please rid me of all the ill thoughts I have towards them and help me be more like you. In Jesus's name..AMEN.
