In geometry, a midsegment is a line segment connecting the midpoints of<\/span>\u00a0a shape, mirroring our resolutions to redefine our outward appearance. However, much like these geometric midsegments, our external changes may not reach the core of our being.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Defined as &#8220;a part cut off or divided,&#8221; the concept of midsegments in geometry draws a parallel to our New Year transformations. We strive to eliminate unhealthy habits and enhance our physical well-being, yet the real challenge lies within our hearts. Despite our efforts to be better individuals, true success may elude us unless we address the deeper issues in our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">God desires more than mere outward sacrifices or lip service; He seeks our hearts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes, it feels like I add spending time with God as a checklist.\u00a0 I get up in the morning, and I check off reading His word.\u00a0 I want to have God\u2019s word really penetrate my heart and change it.\u00a0 He is the only one that can change the heart.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">God wants us just to be still and wait.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exodus 14:14<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we embark on a new year, resolutions often involve cutting out or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":281,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/hvamath\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/hvamath\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/hvamath\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/hvamath\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/281"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/hvamath\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/hvamath\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109,"href":"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/hvamath\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86\/revisions\/109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/hvamath\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/hvamath\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/hvamath\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
