At the beginning of 2011, I made a "resolution" to step outside of my box when I felt nudged by the little angel sitting on my shoulder. Stepping out has been harder than I thought it would be. Many times it has been fear that has paralyzed my body from acting on thoughts of other people and ideas, like this blog, that have popped up in my mind and placed on my heart. Fear of what others may think or say has been the biggest shadow in my journey. Fear can really sap the fun out of life and hold you back from doing amazing things!
You know that little thought that pops in your head about a friend or the thought of doing something for someone? That is what I've tried to listen to and act on more. I'll be the first to say, I haven't been the best at following through on those actions. But this year, I have strived to change that and I've stood amazed a what He does when you put feet to your faith.
This isn't an easy journey we are on. As a full-time working mom I am often frazzled and thinking, "You REALLY want me to find time for that, God?!" And the answer is "Yes. Yes, I do." My prayer is that you would be encouraged on your journey. If just one is encouraged, my purpose is acheived.
I struggle daily with the balance of faith, family, and work. But I am finding a great peace in focusing on more than me.
