Elisa, I really didn’t mean to skip the last couple of months on “Living Intentionally”. You see, if I don’t put everything on my ‘blogging calendar’, I forget…I am sorry that I forget once again to set my calendar on sharing my up-dates on “Living Intentionally 2008″…
As I was reading over my list from January, I think that some things have changed. Or a least I have made adjustments to it – more or less…so, let me give you a little up-date on the items.
- “Not pressing ahead of the Lord, but waiting on Him…” – Yes, this one I do have a handle on. I know that I can trust Him; His timing is always perfect – I just have to be open to His guidance – stop and listen.
- “Continue with my morning routine to read my Bible…” – Some days I moved it to a later time of the day to read my Bible. This part I have changed – I want to know the books of Philippians in-and-out by the end of the year. To me, Philippians is the top-of-the-list encouragement book of the Bible…
- “Continue scanning photos of our son…” – this one I had to stop for a while, because it put me into a tail-spin. It made me sad. Let me explain: I am proud of our son – he is a great young man now. Looking at all his baby and childhood photos made me realize that this chapter of my life is closed. Every time I scanned a photo, I had tears in my eyes. I didn’t realize how much it affected me until the day my sweet friend Lynn called me on it – I was on the verge of depression…so, I had to stop scanning for a while. Eventually I will be able to scan all our son’s photos…
- “Expending on Laced with Grace…” Changed that a little too. Instead of going with a forum, we will have guest authors for the rest of the year. We still have one guest spot open 😉 . It would be for November – so just let me know if you are interested…
- “Stop and listen to hurting people…” I continue to do that as good as I can throughout my busy days.
- “Share my blessings with others…” I think that I am on track on this one 🙂 …
- “Writing down thoughts in my little book…” – Argk – not so good on this one. But I have been writing out my prayers…
- “To truly live intentionally…” – Yeah – that has been the strong point this year. Take in every.single.minute. – Count my blessings, even when in the valley…Loving the ones close to me and the ones not so close to me. I pray that I will continue this point for the rest of the year…
