Pressing Forward!

This past month, I had focused on self control. Sometimes there are little things in our lives that we really do not have much self control over. My main objective was to have self control over my behavior. I started to think about applying this to my every life. One thing I really focused on was food. As you all probably know, I love cake and cookies. I have been trying to limit this to maybe one cookie a day, or one piece of cake a week. This went really well, until I got a box of cookies in the mail from a woman from my church at home. This month, after talking to someone this morning, I have decided that being in a standstill in my faith is boring. Stepping forward sounds like so much more fun! The great thing about this is that at a Christian College, there is so much that you can do to initiate this growth. It is also hard to move forward here because you get into a comfort zone and feel like you are doing okay. In reality, you are just trying to measure up to everyone around you and you are not growing personally. So, I have decided that this month is going to be completely dedicated to me pressing forward, and not backwards. A disclaimer, this is not something I give up once the month ends...I continue to pursue it but try to focus on other things as well!
