called to be me
Last Thursday we attended our District Council in Houston where I received my Ordination as a minister. They gave me a new study Bible engraved and bigger than my baby. 🙂 It was a very humbling ceremony and I feel…..heavier somehow. A new weight has been placed on my heart and new dreams are about to come true.
I need to think about my old dreams for a second, though. Pulling out my list of resolutions I see that I have much to do. May is upon us and I still need to submit some writing, travel, knit a sweater, and paint the canvas. Crap. I have ALL of them left to do!
What have I been doing!? oh yeah, life. Life doesn’t allow for much travel or painting or writing or knitting sweaters. These things take time and unless I carve some of that precious stuff out of my life, I’ll never get these things done. It’s May 3rd and although I’ve thought about each of these things and worked a little on starting them…nothing has come to light.
I feel a little depressed about my lack of resolutionizing but I do know that I haven’t been just sitting around all day eating bon-bons either. So.
I think I’ll start cutting some things out of my weekly list to create more down time. Things like laundry and bathing the children…..
Ok. I actually know what I need to do. I need to stop making time and things for other people and need to start knitting myself a sweater. I need to stop caring what’s on Facebook and start writing my own book. I need to stop thinking about what I’m going to paint and just pull out whatever I have and slap it on that canvas. I need to stop acting like travel is only something you can do out of state and start realizing that travel is any time you get out to explore your own town, find a new shop, eat somewhere new, explore a new park or city event. Isn’t that what I’d be doing anyway!? I have really enjoyed Houston and Galveston and Kemah, places that other people travel to! fancy that….. 🙂
let’s do this!
