This year I have decided to get myself Relationally, Emotionally, Spiritually and Physically in shape for the use of God.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says “…do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your Body.”
I believe that working on all these aforementioned things and getting them in shape will bring glory to God in my life. I realize that something this big in my life needs to be chronicled for my sake but also for the sake of others. For the journey itself could be a blessing to others. So, I will chronicle my journey right here on this blog for the 8 of you that may care ☺. I started this process New Years Day. So, let me take a couple of days to catch you up to where I am.
Emotional:
➪ I began meeting with a Counselor at the end of last year
o He has helped my work on my anger problem that caused the above event and has caused issues for me at work. We discovered that I am a perfectionist, which he says is one of the worst things a person can be because you can never enjoy anything you do because you always see the flaws. Praise God this year I have been able to be okay with mistakes and I have been able to recognize things that ignite that anger inside me go through process of evaluation that diffuses me.
Tune in tomorrow for my "Spiritual" progress!

I admire you posting your journey online for others to read. I have been doing a similar thing, counseling, reading books and writing journals. I would like to share a book with you that I've read, that may be a help in the area of perfectionism, which I have also struggled with. Diane D.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog Marcus. I think it's wonderful. Shane and I try to start each year with a goal in similar categories. Also I love 1 Corinthian 6!! We have been teaching the kids how our bodies are temples as soon as they have attention span. It helps lexi to understand many things including modesty!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see you and Lisa again on a Sunday morning when I come back to visit.
Keep up the good work!
