Removing the noise to hear from my God

That's my "resolution " this year- to remove more of the noise to hear from my God. Yes I need to loose some weight, exercise, eat better, get more organized, be nicer to people, learn to cook, learn to put on foundation(crazy i know but something I have never learned so one day...) remember birthdays, and the list could go on and on. The reality is that none of these will really matter in the long run if they all become more noise and a barrier to God.
      All of these things (okay maybe not the foundation part) can help me to become a better person to the world at large. I also believe they can also become incorporated into my life on a spiritual level that actually enhances my journey with God in fact in the past I tried to lie about my motives going into the new year with that logic. "I am going to loose weight not just by dieting but by praying while I do it or following a "christian diet program" lol! "I will live a healthier lifestyle because I will read scripture that talks about what God expects of us when it comes to body image and this temple He gave us" " I will be more organized and remember things like birthdays and be more aware of the people in my life whom i tend to forget about in my day to day routine by  listening to sermons about relationships." There is a central theme here, yet year after year I miss the obvious of what the real issue is that will bring together all of these "resolutions" and save me from the inevitable of week 9 when I realize I am defeated in all these areas and just do not have the will power to succeed, so stop it all. The theme is the Word of God.
       Why do I think that a diet that is based on scripture will work any differently than any of the other diets I have been on my whole life if scripture reading isn't a part of my daily worship to God? Why do I think that I will be more organized and have better relationships by simply focusing on sermons that talk about only those themes when again I don't devote the time daily to connect with my God in prayer to get to know Him better? I am offered advice from people who talk about living a balanced lifestyle but are we really supposed to have a balanced lifestyle or is it really supposed to be unbalanced in favor of relationship with God? If I start removing all the noise like turning on the T.V before opening my bible, or spending as much time in prayer as I do on Facebook  internet or phone wont the imbalance actually reveal itself to be the best balance my life has ever had? Would being in a deeper relationship with God be exactly what I have needed all along and eliminate this need to set up resolutions year after year that if I am honest were never spiritual goals in the first place but goals that would make it more comfortable for me to be in the world.
        I know God wants me to be healthy in my body but not because I need to be a certain size or have a tight butt, its because a healthy body helps with a healthy mind and this temple he gave me is something I need to look after. God would never want me to put my family through my dieting days that caused misery for all of us and strife in our home or that I was so focused on that exercise routine but I had n time left with my husband or family. There was never anything good or godly about my behaviors trust me. I cant help but think that getting my JESUS FREAK back  and connecting more with God would eliminate alot of the reasons why I might turn to food or overindulge in the first place, because I can remove myself from the equation and fill the space with God instead. God wants me to be organized and remember the things that help me have better relationships with people but not because I am punishing myself for not doing it perfectly or running around like a crazy person trying to be everything to everyone. I have to believe that a deeper relationship with God will effect all my relationships including discerning which ones may be unhealthy for my life or the life of my family. It can only enrich the ones that are good and even if I don't remember a birthday the relationship would still be okay because my heart would be open for people to really see Jesus within me and the importance of cards may not really seem important at all ( I wonder how many birthday cards Jesus wrote to his friends) . I am not saying that they are unimportant I just think if I am the most amazing card giver in the world but have a crappy relationship with God who cares?
      My resolution is to remove more of the noise to hear from more of my God so that I can become a better person even if I am "fluffier" than the world says I should be or even when I am not so organized and a birthday goes by and even if I never learn to wear that foundation stuff. My prayer is that the only foundation I will be worried about is the one I have in Him so that all the expectations the world has of me will be nothing but a part of my testimony I can laugh about later. Please help keep me accountable on this journey and thanks for following.
