It’s a New Year, so a new you right? That is what most people say but they set goals and don’t work for them. With setting goals it is smart to use a format to help you reach your goals. I use SMART goals ⇓
S- Specific (written clearly on what you’re going to do)
M- Measurable (this will help you stay motivated and help you track your progress)
A- Achievable (you want to feel challenged but know that you can reach it)
R- Realistic (the goal needs to be real and like just achievable)
T- Timely (set a date you would like to reach the goal by)
If you are someone starting a New Year goal, believe you can do it, I did in 2017.
ANYTHING is possible, I believe with the strength of the Lord and Jesus Christ we can do anything.
For about two years I continually kept praying for God to give me the strength to lose weight and look where I am at now! I did it. Seek God, he will help you, guide you, watch over you, love you and care for you. AMEN to a new year, 2018! It’s going to be an astonishing year!
Below are some devotions that I found that have helped me over the days. I hope you can find them encouraging and feel free to ask me any questions about how to lose weight or what I did. I got nominated for the Best Success Story Of 2017. You can go and vote for your favorite one by just scrolling to the very bottom and commenting the number of your choice. Mine is #13 :) https://simple-nourished-living.com/best-weight-loss-success-stories-2017-edition/
Also, feel free to ask me about God, how to pray, how to believe when your doubts are down, how to seek him or any of your other questions.
I have started reading lots more about God and Jesus. My faith is growing so much! I thank God for every situation I am in and ask him for his strength.
I've have been studying the fruit of spirit which is the attributes or characteristics of someone.
Galatians 5:22-23 New International Version (NIV)
