WATSIT2U?

 I was in the attic putting away Christmas decorations and I found an old license plate that said, "WATSIT2U". I got this at a Clay Walker concert back in the 90's. Any of you who knew and loved country music back in the 90's will remember the lyrics to that Clay Walker song. "I know what love is, what's it to you"? I shared with my kids the memories about that concert and what the tag meant, and began to think about those eight characters. What is love to me? What is my life to me? What are my values to me? What are my children to me?

As this new year begins, I am faced with a decision. Excuse or healthy choice? Watsit2u? I can choose to stay inside where it is warm or head out for my run. I can choose to let my children get away with telling lies or discipline them so they will learn that lying is not going to be tolerated. I can choose to eat an extra slice of pizza or just stick to the portion size that I know is more than enough. I can choose to be unloving to my husband or to show him the love and respect he deserves. It is so easy to make excuses and accept those excuses as the right or healthy decisions in our lives. If we continue to do that, we will not be the person (or create the little persons) we want. We should strive each day to make the right and healthy decisions instead of the lazy and easy excuses.

If we want to be healthy, we have to choose to eat healthier and make a point to exercise. If we want to raise godly children, we have to choose to discipline our children. If we want a healthy and loving marriage we have to work on our marriage. Marriage is NEVER easy! I am finding that as I ask the Lord to help me make these decisions each day, He then comes along side of me to help me in these areas. We all slip back into old habits and it is okay to just start over.  I decided I needed a "re do" in 2015. I let 15 pounds slip back on and had let other bad habits creep back into my life. We can choose TODAY to make our life better. My life to me is one where I am happy, healthy, loving the Lord, my husband and my family. Watsit2u?
