Re-Focusing

Taking a few minutes today to review some goals I set for myself last month...I can't believe we are in February let alone more than half way through February. And not to mention it's 2011, I'm re-posting my goals that I set at the beginning of this year so I can keep myself accountable.

Goals for 2011

• To blog once a week, something thoughtful or prayerful & possibly something clever (I don't feel very clever very often, we shall see)
  
• Post a photo blog at least once per month
  
• Download at least one new song per month
• Learn to play the piano, or at least some worship on the piano
  
• Spend more time in prayer and bible reading than I do on the computer
• Finish at least one craft project a month (and blog about it :-])
• Save for a house
• Purchase our first home
• Read through the Bible this year!
  
• Continue to keep track of my goals and my progress toward reaching them :-)

I have been keeping with in a day of my bible reading, I found an app that allows me to listen to the word while I'm driving to work in the morning which has really helped me to stay focused on my reading, and on the word.

We have been saving for a house and made an offer on a short sale in Sahuarita, we haven't heard yet however we are praying if it's God's house for us we'll hear soon.

Well that's my update for today! Thanks for reading.

Praying for you

I love you all and pray for you often! God Bless!

Prayers & Coffee

Well I find myself thinking about blogging a whole lot more since I challenged myself to only use scriptures for my status'.

And today is no different, I just finished my first coffee/Starbucks in quite a while and I must say it was amazing! I think maybe I should explain why I haven't had coffee...

I started the month with a daniel fast and got sick. So I had to pray and re-evaluate what I was to fast. Well when I prayed I felt like I was to fast Starbucks/coffee & caffeine, I prayed a lot hoping I had heard wrong...well needless to say I didn't get a release from it. So I fasted from coffee and caffeine, let's just say 1. I realized how "addicted" I am to coffee 2. I was reminded to pray a lot.

Why was I fasting you may wonder? Well whether you do or not I'll tell you...1. To get a new focus for this year. 2. Prayer for direction for my job next year. 3. Direction for our living situation/provision of a loan program that will work for us/a house we love.

So where are we on those prayers? Definately feeling excited for what's to com this year. I believe I have direction for work :-). With our future home we are still praying and seeking, we've found a home we like and a loan program that seems that it will work so now we gather the needed paperwork and pray and wait.

Now all that was said because the coffee I just had was amazing!

*this post got lost on its way to blogger so its a few days late but it still applies none the less God is good.

Cursor Blinking

As I sit here with the cursor blinking
I try to find the words to type
confused and perplexed
not sure what to put

You are just fine
nothings wrong
relax
breath deep
take time to reflect

The words just don't
seem to fit, they don't seem
to come out quite right, what
should I say, how should I say it?
