Every year always seems to be very bittersweet for me, every year I set goals for myself and they NEVER get accomplished. I have set a few goals for 2017 but already the new year isn't starting off good. I feel that I'm a very helpful, kind and generous person but at the same I can be mean, petty, rude, and a nasty person. When it comes to my boyfriend, if I don't get my way it can get into a ugly situation. I'm realizing that I allow certain peoples actions and issues to really affect me, affect me in a way where it can cause me not to be a pleasan person or affect me in a way where I'm so focused on a particular person and trying to motivate, help and sacrifice for them....it gets to a point where I'm realizing that I'm not focusing on myself and Its like I lose sight of the things I want to get accomplished... I'm not sure if this makes any sense but whatever situation I'm in I don't want to allow anything to keep me from doing the positive things I need to do so I can move forward and provide better for my son....I would really appreciate some prayers
Prayer for moving forward

Your goals may not get accomplished because God has other goals in his mind that must be corrected first. As they say in order to change the world around you, we must change from within. God has helped you draw attention to your un-Christ like behavior for a reason. God reminds me everyday the sin of my moments of sinful behaviors. God may want you to work on these internal goal first, and the external rewards will follow. Your son will learn from these positive external rewards. And grow up remembering the faith and love you had for Jesus and the Word of God.

Some words of encouragement for you... I agree that the Lord's desire for your life is first and foremost to renew your life from the inside out. That's where new life begins in the Lord, and learning to abide in Jesus daily produces a bountiful harvest of blessings. Fruits of the spirit, just to name a few..love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self control. If you truly want to see change in the area's that you desire to, just allow the Lord to teach you His ways. Your son will grow to be strong in the Lord as his mother. Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Thanks everyone I really appreciate the comments....it never really crossed my mind to change from within...Thanks a lot!!!! These comments give me something to work on about myself
