Resolution Revolution

Mike Ashcraft is the senior pastor at Port City Community Church in Wilmington NC.  Mike has an interesting way of looking at new year's resolutions.  He says...

Our resolutions seldom work because they are based on the type of person we’re tired of being rather than who God wants us to become. Plus, resolutions can be “broken,” leaving no room for the process of growth. What if our hopes for the year ahead centered instead on who God wants us to become, and the transformation process?

As we process the value of Determination during the month of January, Mike's encouragement helps us understand that our determination cannot be founded in improving what we don't like about ourselves.  Rather, I must be determined to find who God wants me to be and my determination must drive me to that goal.  When I become who God wants me to be all of the other stuff takes care of itself.

How do we do that?  Well, Mike Ashcraft has developed a simple way to formalize a plan and move ahead.  It all comes down to one word.  That's right.  You can use one word to help you focus on who God wants you to be.  Go to Mike's web site by clicking HERE.

I would like to hear from you.  What is your word?  

Don't get bogged down with resolving to change all the things you don't like about yourself.  Be determined to become who God wants you to be.
