a word



discover


this year i decided i needed a word again. you see last year, i'd like to name as survival. that is how i felt all year - just surviving, for many reasons. although, i will say God grew me in amazing ways last year - it was still survival. this year, with the gift of zija in my life and God's bit of goodness i felt the need to focus. for the first couple weeks of 2012 i pondered. i had a few thoughts, but mostly i just chewed on them. then, one morning while chewing on those pondered words a new word immediately jumped at me: discover....ah yes, God, there it is.

so what am i out to discover you may ask? well, i'm not so sure. but i feel like God has asked me to discover Him a bit deeper this year. to discover where He is at work, where He is leading me, who He is leading me to. i want to discover a bit more about my hubby; where is God leading him, what is growing in his heart. i want to discover my kids; how God is putting them together, what their dreams are becoming. i want to discover my calling; how is God growing my heart, how is God leading me. i want to discover the world; from a different perspective, from getting my heart and hands dirty.

i think it could be fun, intimidating, freeing, heavy, exhilarating and exhausting. i have a few plans in place to help, like this one and maybe this one

so....anyone out there choose a word?

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
