#unresoluting: An Exhortation to Love for the New Year

Have you ever heard of unschooling? Many parents have begun to radically change the way their children learn and say, "no" to the way their children are learning and to the government's involvement in their child rearing through unschooling. If you want more information check out this link. (This is not a blog to promote that, although I am a huge proponent of homeschooling when you can coupled with using brain-based teaching for your children.)

I want to talk with you today dear sister and brother about #unresoluting. Can we start a new hashtag and verb? This January 1, let's start the trend to NOT start a New Year's resolution. Let's not pick one word for the New Year.

Why?

I'm not advocating for slothiness.

I'm not advocating for apathy.

I'm not saying don't continue to journey on a life of learning.

I am advocating for learning to love where you are. To allow yourself to go back and heal your past. That will catapult you forward like you've never known.  It will allow you to not only see yourself for the gift the Lord created you to be, but the gifts he's given you to give others.

His word says you mean the world to him. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". And "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." He sees us as righteous. 

When we let the healing happen we open up to receive the love of a saviour, the love of others without offense and give abundantly, without expectation, unconditionally.

Choose to #unresolve this 2016 with me.

Then see how your blessings flow. I would love to hear back now when you let go, they stack up. Keep track of when you go back and let go, how the miracles and mercies mount. Let's start a community of encouraging each other.

"He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins." Ephesians 1:7

Because, he has already set you FREE. What are you waiting for? Set yourself free.

"If the son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36
