PEACE

Every time I turn around someone is asking me what’s my New Year Resolutions? Or asking what are my goals for the New Year? First, I want to know why are you evening asking me... to change your goals or to compare your goals to mine…… I mean I don’t think that about everyone. But, you know how everyone wants to be a motivational speaker and think that because you say you’re not motivated that you will get motivated after they give you their speech (maybe I’m the only person thinking this...lol). I feel like the New Year Resolution is the same thing, let me help you set goals and hold you accountable for your goals, and yet the person holding you accountable not accomplishing anything in their life. You got to be able to recognize these people because they are not Les Brown! Let’s move on though - I haven’t set a New Year Resolution. I started to think like, Simantha what do you want out of the year. It’s hard to say what I want out of the year because every day I start to think I want something different out of life. I mean some days I feel like I am going crazy. I have small goals that I would definitely like to accomplish before the year is out, even some before this month of January is out. However, as I look at things in the very moment right now, If I wanted anything so badly…. It would be PEACE. Peace is FREEDOM from disturbance. Tranquility is a trait I want to have and always be associated with. I want to have Peace that passes for Understanding, Peace in my Attitude and Mood, and Peace that controls my life. I have mastered not worrying about things and I have developed certain patience when things are not turning out the way I would like. I just haven’t been able to master that when it comes to my children. I want so much for them and want them to be able to have, learn, work hard, and turn out to be good people. And with knowing that they watch me I need to develop some type of freedom over my life. My mother would always say, be careful what you pray for because God will put you through that. I have always prayed for more Grace. Grace is Love and Mercy. This year Lord, I need Peace and Grace. I want to be better for my children if no one else.
