Yes, I'm seeking a slimmer body and stronger muscles, a healthy heart and lungs, more energy...but I am also seeking peace. Peace with myself most of all. Peace from the negative voices in my head, peace from my perfectionism.
Peace doesn't mean peace at any price, a total lack of confrontation, or being the doormat for other people's muddy boots. Peace means accepting where I am right now on this journey called life, knowing that God accepts me completely even while He is calling me onward.
I fight negative voices and perfectionism too. This year I've made great strides in overcoming them, but I'm still not perfect. Ha!
