For Tuesday, January 15: Resolution solutions

Let your resolution be his solution. Unknown

Okay. It's a bit of a cheesy quote to be sure but something about it appeals to me. And in a twist on the phrase my mind keeps changing it to also read, "let his solution be your resolution." I think that most of the time that needs to be the truer sentiment. I need to resolve that God's solutions for the things that come up in my life are best. And too often I don't hold to that resolution. Too often I go to him last for solutions rather than go to him first. So yes, whatever I resolve to accomplish I should leave in his capable hands but more than that my whole life, and all that happens in it, I should be resolved that he has solutions already - ones that I cannot even come up with.

What about you? Are you resolved to allow God to be the solution to what comes up in your life?

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
