It happens, It's life, It's hard.
Life transitions are not meant to be easy.. Recently I feel that every aspect and part of my life has been going through big changes. I'm being constantly surrounded by change, and for the most part I have completely held up in a positive manner. However, as of this week when another big change showed it's face, I felt it. I am still staying positive, still keeping faith and putting my trust in God. BUT, I vunerably share that I am not as strong as I thought I would be. Knowing these changes were coming I built up my mindset to deal with each one feeling confident in the fact that I wouldn't let my emotions take over. Sometimes in life, we just need to surrender, not try to talk ourselves in to pushing down emotions and let ourselves feel the go with the change. Telling ourselves everything will be okay, it will all work out, this won't kill you, life goes on, it's just the ending of one chapter so that a new beautiful chapter may begin, are the types of reminders I need to continue thinking.. to stay strong and positive.
2019 will be my year, all of these wonderful yet challenging changes are happening so fast yet are only motivating me to do more, try harder, step further in to accomplishing my hopes and dreams.
Welcome to 2019, where I plan to accomplish that list of goals. I'm actually not one who believes in making new year goals or not making goals. I like to take this time of year to reflect on how I've grown over the past year and how much more growth I have ahead. This year is going to be a bit different though, because of the new changes I have made myself a list of goals, not a list that need to be completed here & now...BUT a list that I want.. WILL complete by the end of the year. Throughout the year I plan on showing and sharing with you all these goals and how I've gone about achieving them.
First up on my list is to disconnect with the world, and to focus on reconnecting with God. I am a very religious person and believe deeply in my Faith. To start off the new year I will be attending the 21 days starting new with the Hope City Church here in the Houston area.. This goal is something I find obtainable 100% especially depending on how bad you want that reconnection with God and for everything in your life to fall into place. I believe that by putting Him first, everything will fall in to place as it should. This is basically the point of the 21 day connection process.. so the church is starting off with a 21 day fast. Each person chooses something in life that is overly consuming to there every day life, this being said I have chosen social media, yes it's a source of payment for me and it's a source of work on my journey of promoting different businesses. Yet social media is something I constantly think about, what to post next, who should I promote, I havent posted today, so on and so forth. The second thing that I have chosen to fast is junk food, not catergorizing any specific foods but targeting any foods I feel is a treat to myself. With all the changes going on in life right now I found myself 'treating' myself a little bit to much.
The next step in my 21 day fast is to make God the first thing apart of my day, everyday. In order to accomplish this everyday when I wake up I will create the habit to before checking my phone, or talk to anyone or start thinking about each of the tasks I must complete throughout the day I wake up and thank God for waking me up and continue praying and worshiping for 5 minutes. If you'd like to follow this process too and think it's something that would be beneficial to you and your life, visit Hope City Church online to learn more about the porcess. This is just the begginning of the New Year and my new life journey! I am excited to share with you all throughout the year with each change, challenge and goals I am working towards accomplishing. SOO, STAY TUNED. XOX Sarah Mckenzie.
