My Husband LOVES to blog and tell everyone what's on his mind. I, on the other hand, am a people person. I like to chat face to face and interact with the person I am talking with. I have let blogging become a "duty" on my "to do" list like so many other things and it is therefore not fun.
If you are like me, and you've let your life slip onto the proverbial "to do" list, and life just isn't fun anymore, I encourage you to step back and re-evaluate what's really important to you. Take a deep breathe and enjoy this Life God has given you.
It's that time of year when we all make our New Year's Resolutions and/or set our year's goals. If you are like me, you may set some of the same goals in hopes of FINALLY achieving them THIS year! :) I know all the stats on written goals and I believe them wholeheartedly, but I'm a "list" person who likes to "cross" things off my list so I feel like I've accomplished SOMETHING. I know, I know, I need my head examined! :)
Here's my encouragement to myself and those of you who take the time to read my sparse blogs...whatever your goals are this year, just to do...do them...don't wait for the planets to align or for everything to be perfect. Take steps toward your goals. Who cares if you don't reach it completely or hit a bull's eye. It's like a dart game, as long as you're on the board somewhere, you score some points! What's important is that you are taking steps TOWARD your goals and therefore that much closer to achieving them. You'll feel SO much better about yourself when you take the time to GO FOR IT.So...as the Nike ad says, "Just Do It."
"Don't look at other people and envy them - look at them and think that perhaps they envy something about you. There is always something that you have that someone else doesn't."
Gal. 5:25 (MSG) "Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives. That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse. We have far more interesting things to do with our lives. Each of us is an original."
Gal. 6:4 (MSG) "Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life."
