determination

so my new word is determination......discipline is good, but if you don't have determination you dont have discipline!

So I realized once again my lack of discipline.....this time it is with money......I love to shop. to spend money, to go nuts at pay days.....I am so not frugual! I get such a high if I can buy something on sale....like I bought a shirt, that I havent even worn...for $2.00, but it was a great deal, now it just sits in my closet in a crumpled mess!! I so need help!! Actually we have just started getting help...I am quite excited.....it should save alot of stress!! We go on these spending sprees which are fun, but then we stress out because we spent way to much $$$ and then have to starve untill payday again! Well Lord help us!!!!

I realise that every area of my life is lacking discipline...... how do I change......what do I lack....determination.....

how do I change?
how do you get determination?

In Belize on our honeymoon.....we were staying with this missionary family and when one of the kids were having a bad attitude the conversation between the father abd the child would say " How is you attitude?" "Bad daddy" "What should you do" "Change my attitude" " ok then"
Immediatley they would change their attitude...it was amazing to watch.....

I realize it is like God our Father is saying " How is your attitude?" "How is your discipline going?" " How is your determination going?" Today my answer would be "not good" So my Father would say to me.."What should you do about it?" and my answer is........

I also just had the thought that God is our personal trainer...... we would succeed if we just listen to what He is saying to do!!

Wow my Father...help please.....be my personal trainer.....I choose this day to be a new day! A new way of thinking! A new lifestyle with determination and discipline!! I choose to change.....
If you are reading this then I ask you to help me be accountable to this....ask me how is it going.... I cant do this alone!

Thanks for your support and prayers in this!

Be blessed
