The End is Near. . . .
Thursday, December 28, 2006 Edit This 2 Comments »
Can you believe it, 2006 is coming to an end in a matter of days where has the time gone?
It's kind of scary how fast time goes. . . I typically begin the new year all pumped up and excited about doing something different, spending more time with God and in prayer, loosing weight, saving more money, learning to say no, spending more time with family, learning to love and forgive, taking better care of my overall health, wanting to write more, organizing the home, being a better employee, not making the same relationship mistakes, wanting to be a better friend and daughter only to find myself still struggling to accomplish it all.
I suspect that all of this is a process and I have to remind myself that I cannot conquer it all, do it all and accomplish it all. Life is a process. I tend to think that with all these things that I will ARRIVE when in actuality I will always work toward a better me. Interesting.... I would much rather be perfect at those things now, (you know have the perfect bod, be the prefect friend etc.) that way I can spend the rest of my days becoming an accomplished actress or something. :)
Anyway, as I approach the new year I hope to be more patient with myself. I also vow not to enter this new year making a bunch unrealistic goals only to find myself blogging about not accomplishing them at the end of 2007.
Happy New Year!

2 What's on Your Write Mind?:
You've got some good things in mind, dear sister. Keep your head up! May you feel God's presence in this coming year as you've never felt it before. Remember not to sweat the small stuff. I know you want to do it all NOW -- yesterday even! But each step is progress, and an important part of your journey. I'm glad to hear you'll be more patient with yourself and extending yourself more grace. Sometimes we are harder on ourselves than anyone. I'm off to pray for you right now...
Love,
Michele
Reading this is like reading some of my own thoughts...I can so relate to what you're saying.
