ps and by the way....

I did it folks!! I accomplished my blog challenge.



Some may have been lame and/or trivial posts, but the point is...I did what I said. Whoopity-freakin'-hooo. Look what I can do!! And actually I do notice a difference its made, because I find that the creative juices have been flowing again; which was my main goal. To dig out that inner creativity within me that's been lying dormant.


Now, I challenge you to create your own blog challenge. (Psst, Kate, I'm talking to you!!)

I leave you with this, and yes I know I'm ripping off the Nike catchphrase, "Just do it!"


Or to be Oprahesque, "Live your best life!" Acutally, too bad Oprah uses that all the time, because it's actually something to strive for, so yeah, Live your best life!

becoming gold

"Being shaped is never easy. Becoming gold is never as easy or as quick as I would like it to be. Have you ever felt that way? Whether it’s a job that is slowly wearing you down or a relationship that feels tangled or a dream that is dying on the vine as you work somewhere to pay the bills, life is not always easy. And to be honest, there are days when I want to yell, “Where are you God? I catch no glimpse of you!”

But the truth for me and the truth for you, is that he is at work.

Even if we do not see him. Even if we catch no glimpse of him. Even if the testing weighs heavy, he is in motion. He is unchanging. He is relentless with his grace and mercy and love.

He knows the way we take.

And he will bring us forth as gold."

I think Jon Acuff with his Serious Wednesday post, is reading my journals and knows exactly what's going on in my mind. Again, here he goes addressing what's been ruminating around in my mind.

Go read his new post, here!

Eclipse

In 1 hour and 45 minutes!!

victory is mine, almost

I'm 1 day away from completing my blog challenge. I can't believe it. I've actually accomplished something from beginning to end. Well, almost.

Hmmmm.....makes me think that there's so much more for me to accomplish out there if I just start small and add steps each day. I need to get past the mentality that I have to do everything perfect from the start. I just want it all to be easy, I know that.

I am a work in progress!!!

1. Sitting here with Rhonda & Ellyn and i've noticed that soap operas NEVER change. Ever.

2. Coldstone is yummyness. My pick tonight, "All lovin', no oven"!

3. I'm very fond of Liz Lewis. She gets me. That makes my heart happy.

4. Courageous: I need to find this within me again.

5. Sometimes people just suck.

6. Cold gummy bears are hard to chew.

7. I'm blessed to have amazing friends who've journeyed with me through some craptacular moments during this season in my life.

8. My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

9. I heart Jesus so so so much. Even when I think He doesn't see me, He does.

Water from the dry well

On my way home with Liz from somewhere past Woodland Park, venturing from Worship @ 8500.

It was amazing!!! My heart and soul needed the Jesus love that I experienced tonight.

::insert sigh of relief here::
