2013 Brick By Brick


As you well know, I like goals!  I like to write out pages of goals before the new year begins.  

The process is important to me as it allows me to put the steps to my dreams.  Boy do I have dreams.  

However, it is not easy for this wild and free spirited bird to keep the blinders on and take the mundane boring step by boring step.  

Focus is not a strength or a weakness but a discipline, I have decided.  

While focus is not easy for me, I am fiercely determined and driven to move forward.  High energy one day and a little groggy the next.  I've learned to build on my strengths and use them to overcome challenges.

My main strength is the ability to see the strengths and gifts in others.  Using this, I'm excited to be meeting weekly with a group of women for the sole purpose of holding each other accountable, celebrate with and support the individual dreams placed within us.
 
So...one goal is to have read Proverbs and James every day in 2013.  In addition, I want to read Romans daily, study it deeply and memorize Romans 8 by 12/31/2013.  Self-accountability that fits my colorful ways is to note the date beside each chapter as I read them.

I would love to know if you are working toward specific goals right now in your life so we can walk together on this crazy adventure called life!

What does the Bible say about being better to walk with someone so that if we fall, we can help each other up?

Starting a Journey

September 3, 2010 Originally posted How to Begin a Journey 1. Pick a destination or simply start. 2. Plan a detailed itinerary or just take the first step. 3. Pack everything or travel lightly. I am choosing to just begin. To leave behind the baggage, pick up a day pack, and go. Several nights before we moved to Ogallala, I was praying about the transition when I heard that still, small voice of God. In that moment, I knew He heard my Heart's Cry. He hears every whispered plea, every unspoken longing. If I truly sit with that truth, it humbles me. What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

Picking up Rocks and Riding in Boats

I took a walk with a three year old young man today.   His mama was frazzled and he was bored.  "Grab your shoes," I told him.  He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door.  After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out.  He followed my lead and bent in half beside me.  I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way.  Have you ever took a walk with a toddler?  And looked at things the way they do?  The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers.   A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house.  I stopped to admire...

Hurry. Time is Running Out...

Hurry.  Time is running out . 6.5 hours left of 12/10/2012. 4 days le ft until the weekend. 15 days left until Christmas.   21 day s until we fall over the fiscal cliff & financial Armageddon.   Time is running out. Time to make a difference. Time to count. Time to make moments matter. Time to make my life matter.     Time is running out. Time to tell my family that I love them. Time to breathe. Time to love. Time to heal. Time to restore. Time IS RUNNING OUT. BUT it is all the time I have. IT IS All the time I need.  Time to Praise. Time to Pray. Time to smile. Time to listen. Time to be.   Time is running out . Today I will take the time to love. Time to tell others about the hope I have in Jesus! Today I have the time t o listen to God. Time to reach.  Time to teach.  Time to lead.   Time to make a change. Time is running out. ...
