Coffee Coke and Cockiness

Well I've cut Coke and coffee out of my diet. I'm showing classic signs of a stomach ulcer and these are 2 things that I consume daily that have become the product of my demise. Being that we have had a lot of stress in the past year that has also contributed to these health issues, I've decided that I will use this time to take advantage of the spiral of positivity that has begun. I want to be in the right mind as decisions have to be made. I want to be sure that the decisions we are making are what God has intended for us. We are truly excited about this upcoming year and I honestly don't want to get caught up in it. So many times before we have had an upward spiral and our relationship with God falters because we don't give Him the glory He deserves. Almost as if we get cocky and give ourselves the Glory when its due elsewhere. This truly is a struggle for me. It's about my money, my house, my kids, my health, my,my,my,my. I don't want that kind of heart. I want one of humility and Grace. So this is what I'm going to work on during this time. My prayer life has been lacking and I want an unceasing prayer life style. Or at least continue to try. I want prayer to be my first reaction to everything that comes up not the last thing I turn to.  So this is me challenging myself when I want to grab a cup of Joe or a coke instead I'm challenging myself to pray about a family member or issue or decision that needs to be made. Just a few minutes. With my constant want for my recent physical crutch, I should be doing a lot of praying lol. So I'll be working on my stomach and my spirituality by try to eliminate coffee, coke, and cockiness.
