What are you NOT bringing into 2009!!!

Ok, I don't know about most of you, but 2008 was a tough year for me.  I might have mentioned earlier that I went through a lot of change and loss in 08 that I hope to not replicate in 2009.  So anyway this got me to thinking what were some of the things I am not bringing into 2009.  Here is my list:

1) Self-doubt - I am not going to doubt my ability to accomplish or acheive any goal. 

2) Putting others before myself - I am not going to become selfish but no longer am I going to put other peoples happiness before my own.  I am not willing to make continuous sacrifices to make othe people comfortable/happy while at the same time making myself miserable.

3) No Baggage - No room for excess baggage in 2009.  I am going to try to truly live the bible verse or forgetting those things behind me and pressing toward the MARK.

Thats my list.  What is yours??????????

You should be working.

I was which is why I didn't see this until today

Hey Brenda!!
Wishing you all that you want for 2009.
I'm going to have to borrow #'s 2 & 3 from you, I couldn't've put it ANY BETTER. I NEED to leave guilt on 2008 as well, although I know DAMN WELL that it's no more than wishful thinking. (Hey, it's important to be honest with ones' self, isn't it?)

Hero, we can do this!!!!  We just need to stick to it.  Lets take it one day at a time and make it more than wishful thinking.

I want to leave irresponsibility back in to 2008.

I want to be more responsible financially.
I want to be responsible for peoples emotions that trust me with them.
But most of all I want to be responsiblle for my actions as it goes w/ my eating.

I want to leave my irresponsblle ways in '08 and become responsible for the year of greatness in '09

Good luck to you!!!!!  We will be your accountabiity partners for the irresponsible.

Hey Brenda!

Wow...once again, you all are walking down my street; sitting on my couch; knocking at my door with these posts!

I just returned from an interview with our Executive Minister, as I begin the Minister-in-Training program here on Saturday.  As I was talking to her, I began reflecting on what I wanted to do for Donna...and Points 1-3 were on the TOP of the list (as a matter of fact, in a phone conversation two days ago, the "no baggage" issue was the topic of discussion!).

As I shared yesterday, I am going into prayer, devotion and listening mode this year.  I am determined to do new and better things in my life and I am excited about it!

Happy New Year, Sis - hope you continue to be blessed with good things in 2009!

Sis be blessed!!!!!  I told you that you were my sistah from another mistah

Good luck to you!!!!!

I will not be carrying the following in 2009:

1 - Fear.  I have yet to fail - and God has always delivered me.  It's time to stop TRIPPIN and start TRUSTING.  HE has got this!!!!
2 - Lack of self love.  (yes - even me) I have GOT to stop doubting that I DESERVE the absolute BEST and should not EVER settle........
3 - Too much thinking, not enough living.  I tend to overthink things and get so caught up in the 'what ifs' I can't live the 'RIGHT NOWs'
4 - Worry.  Worry about what others are thinking, what others' opinions are of me, what others see in/about me....... I have GOT to start making sure MY opinion is what really counts!!!


That's MY list!!!!!
