Please pardon my dust. :)

I had originally started this blog with a different template and a different address. I have decided to keep this one and will be moving everything over a bit at a time. I will also be working on a website in conjunction with this blog but that covers more stuff.  I am sure that the finished result will be worth it. The dates on the converted posts may be off but at least they will be here. lol  I will make note of the original post dates. :)

I'm feeling like I need to just take a breather and just focus on God. This song helps. :)

Looking ahead

"If you aim at nothing, you will hit it." 
So, here I sat recently.  I was writing out my goals for the year. Mind you, I won't call them resolutions because I know full well that there are so many, and some are big, that I won't finish them all. So, I am sticking to the quote,

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." 

I will tackle as much on my master list as possible and, hopefully, hit quite a bit of it. The rest will be further along, closer to accomplishment, for the next time. That is, unless it is something that falls away as unimportant. I was reflecting on and looking at that list last night.  I got re-energized again about all the things that I can achieve this year.

Today, however, on the way home from Bible study, I had another thought. We had each said a prayer to God for ourselves, whatever was on our hearts. One of the things that I asked of Him was to help keep me on track with His goals and to help me accomplish, not just this week or this month, but this year, what He would want me to do. Wow. That flashed me back to the church billboard I passed on my way to taking my son to school,

"What would Jesus have you do in 2016?"  

It's humbling to take it out of your own perspective. Here I had created this big long list of "Do's" and, now, I wondered what His list actually looked like. I'm sure that some of the things are the same. Some of my items, I'm sure, are not a priority for His list. How many would not even be there? Hmm. Food for thought. Tonight, I will reflect on the list but also with this question:

"Lord, what would You have me to do in 2016?"

;) This blog is definitely one of them. I keep flitting back and forth on the why or how. However, I know now that He has plans for it and for me, too.  I don't know how many will actually read it or how many will keep coming back but whomever you are, I look forward to meeting you.

It's off to blog I go...

I have often felt like I should speak less and write more. I have told myself this many, many times. Do I ever listen??  Not really. Well, enough is enough. I keep feeling like I should redirect my thoughts and comments on certain things and I'm finally going to commit to it (again).  My first thing to tackle is which blog interface to use. I like them both for different reasons. We will see. I need a creative outlet and, while there are many ways to do that, I intend to forge ahead. :)  More posts to come very soon.
