Just two more day and we will be on the brinks of a new year....many resolutions will be made: commitments to lose weight, get rid of the person you're in a relationship with, and last but not least, promises to attend church more often. I'm reminded of the other day when I was attempting to take out my daughters tooth....clearly the old loose tooth was ready to come out, however because of my daughters inabilty to see the long term benefit of having her tooth removed a struggle ensued. My daughter's unwillingness to part ways with the old tooth would impact her ability to eat and cause her to refrain from smiling. Interestingly, we as adults react this way when it comes time to part ways with persons, places or things that are actually hindering us from great success. We get comfortable with "status quo" and ignore the warning signs. Entering into a new year and positioning ourselves for God's best is more than making resolutions....it's about being sick and tired of being sick and tired. Make the decision today to remove the old so that the new will come unhindered and untainted.
