For years I've had a type of love-hate relationship with my life...most specifically my goals and dreams. I have so many things that I want to do and accomplish, and sometimes I feel like it's either too late to make some of them happen, that I don't have what it takes to make them happen, or that I'm just not in the right place to make them happen. Fortunately for me, feelings aren't an accurate representation of what actually is, nor are they in charge ...
This has been a great week! The past few weeks, really, have been well above average. For the first time in a long time, I feel emphatically content and happy with the life that I am leading and the direction in which I'm heading. I've got my job, my health, my friends and family; and there are little pieces of promise and opportunity fluttering all around me that I'm eagerly collecting and placing in my "to-do" bag of purpose and legacy.

You gotta start somewhere. I've been meaning to dive into Bible study for a few weeks now, but have just felt so overwhelmed. Where do I begin? What do I read? How do I internalize it? Will it really help? These are just a few of the questions that I have been battling with when it comes to spending time with You and reading your word. To be honest, I know and believe that You can help me- but at the same time, I don't feel it. Does that make sense? ...
i went to church this morning. i really needed it. i'm not a frequent church-goer, but every so often, life takes it's toll on me and i find myself in need of a visit to the house of the lord.
