iN THe BeGiNNiNG...

The new year is almost here and I find myself at the end of 2009 with so many ideas and thoughts in my head. So, I've decided to start this blog. I often think of all the things that I would really like to do this year and in years to come. And then as I read my Bible, I have SO many great ideas and insights that I just need to get out somewhere. So, I decided to start my blog. Hopefully, if nothing else it can help me process my thoughts --and maybe, just maybe -- it'll also inspire others or in the least be a fun read for those who happen to just be passing through.

 So, here I go with those things that I really would like to accomplish in my life -- and hopefully, I will complete many in the next few years. I am really hesitant to state, "before I die" as only God knows when that will be and although we tend to think that dying happens to old people, I know very well that is not necessarily true. So, my goal is to live my life to the fullest each day! Love those around me! And try my hardest to be honest and kind to those whom I love! And, in the midst of all of that, I hope that I can accomplish the things on my list and more!

    Well, you could knock out a few of those goals by moving to Ecuador!!! :o) You could live here for a year, work with the Peace Corps (I've met several of the PC volunteers here--very cool women!), learn to drive a stick (automatics are rare down here), and write a book about it later. :o) And, of course, spend time with me! Ha! Love ya, girl!

    Was just reading your "bucket list" and so many things GOd has allowed you to accomplish since 09 post. Write the Vision and make it plain and there u have it. He's faithful to complete the work begun in us. Youve practically written your book through your blog diary entries. They have been life changing for me.
