New Year, New Start, New You

It's a new year and I have decided to use the new year for a new start in some areas of my life and refreshen others.... I have decided that the only way to be the best me is to first allow time for me...Me time is a priority on my list....I have recommited myself to my meditation time...During this time it's just me and the Lord, I talk, I listen and I just let stillness and quietness consume my mind and body...This gives me strength for the day....I recommend early morning  for those of us who have busy lives.....It sets the tone for the day...I'm sure you're thinking this is selfish....self first...We can only perform at our highest level for those we serve or care for or work for only if the mind is well...."And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2
When we renew the mind we can hear the directions and instructions of God....we open ourselves "up" so He can pour into us. I hope you understand why I call it me time now...you see I am nothing without Him and  the only way to be in His presence is to make time to be with Him when not distracted with the concerns of the day.....So I start my dy with Him so whatever I am faced with during the day He is right there to "order my steps".... Gift yourself a new you with a new start by renewing the mind.
