I was woken by a call of nature to be called by nature to see the most amazing sunrise! So beautiful that I had to photograph it to share with A, who I didn't think would appreciate it at 5.30am!
This year I have poo-pooed New Years resolutions. Like diets I believe that they set you up to fail. So for someone who has always had very clear guides on what the goal is and how to accomplish it (at any cost) I am entering a new year trying to path a way in unchartered territory.
Last year the goals were clear-get fit and lose weight, make money being the best PT/employee I could be and balance children, house and husband. Do, do and do more! Do it well, no better than well!
My success was based on what I was doing. The more I do the more acceptable I am.
2013 has taught me that doing isn't more important as being. Being present, being connected, being aware. When you are focused on doing, the goal is to finish what you are doing so you can do something else and God help those who get in the way of that.
Being + Doing = Balance
Balance-that mysterious myth of a word that lives in the realm of unicorns, fairies and Atlantis.
How? HOW? HOW!!!
This is the challenge of 2014. To find the place of balance. But not alone, I am desperately clinging to God on this one. I am trying to surrender all my plans to Him and say, "What do ya think?" because I no longer trust myself to know what I should/could be doing.
That is the cry of my heart….
Lord, please guide my life on what you want me to be doing. There are so many "good" things I could be doing but I only want to go where You have called me. I know that I am called to spread the "love". I feel my most fulfilled when I let other know how special they are and how much you love them. Give me boldness to speak when you say and not when you tell me to be quiet.
In Jesus' name.
Amen
So I declare 2014 the year of LOVE! Because I truly believe that Love is the answer to everything.
