It’s that time of year when your Resolution Soup is on the burner again... Can you smell it? Is it burning? Is the burner even on? How's it doing? In reality, you and I both know the feeling of the New Year about to turn over. It means, among other things, that we will strive to set ideals out front, begin to raise our bar and bank on cute but unrealistic expectations for a few days, anyway. Show me someone who sets out to fulfill what they think they ought to do after the feasting of Christmas and the end of another year of rigamarole and is still holding the line of renewed health, happiness and holiness into Spring? Summer? As a lifestyle? Wowza. Show me. Most people, seriously the overwhelming majority, drop a resolution just as fast as they picked it up!! However, usually they just lacked essential ingredients to make a soup that satiates from the beginning. They left out ‘daily accountability’, went shy on what how much ‘realistic’ was called for and completely used the wrong combinations of ‘spices to keep it exciting and alluring.’ The Soup just wasn’t a hit after that first round of leftovers and they pitched it. How can you change this headed into 2019? Can you change this? Need you change this? YES, YES and YES! None of us are living fully God’s ideals for our lives. We are plagued with our own frail humanity and loving the low road which we gravitate toward. Whether we want to align with only the Church’s times for renewal: Lent and Advent (two more times also if you’re Eastern Catholic) or align with the world’s timing: New Years, we frankly can use all the impetus we can get to make progress on our person. This season of your life can be different. You know that the stewardship He is asking of you is DIFFERENT than what you’ve had going on... When you don’t say no to certain foods: they’re a god. When you don’t stay away from certain entertainment: it’s a god. When you always excuse yourself from what really needs done with you: you’re a god. And when you hide behind a false sense of your own progress: you’re limiting the real God. It’s time to root it out, call it out and dig it up! Coming right up, we have as the pivotal first day of this New Year the special intercession of the Mother of God on her Solemnity under that title, she to whom our whole lives should be consecrated. She cracks open the newness, the promise and the hope for all Christians beginning again Jan. 1st. Are you wanting to join her in saying YES to God? It’s not optional to make these needed changes. It’s requisite for your sanctification! Start the wheels prayerfully discerning right now about what MUST happen in your life to get to that next chapter and reach out to me if I can help you to powerfully make those changes in a lasting and transformative way.
