All about me

Life.....it really is a journey.

It is about me, but it is not all about me.

It is about you, but it is not all about you.

It is about someone, anyone, everyone.

Am I willing to pause in my journey to reach out to others around me?

Am I willing to risk getting involved in yet another relationship with someone? Anyone?

What about someone who is different from me? Really different? Someone who makes me uncomfortable?

Why do they make me uncomfortable? Am I willing to use my time? My time is my most valuable possession after all.

Who do I want to make a difference for in this journey I call life?

A New Beginning

January marks the beginning of a new year. Many of us make resolutions for this new year, spoken or otherwise. January IS a new beginning in so many ways. I asked myself once again this year what I want for this next year. What do I want to begin? I can think of many things I want to end, but I hesitate to decide what I want to begin. Resolutions are often quickly broken and for a good reason. We make ourselves this list of all the great things we want to accomplish in the next year only to forget or lose the desire by January 15! We have all heard or said that we don't make New Year's resolutions and we all know why. No one likes to start the new year off badly so it is easier to just not say what we will or will not do, right?
Perhaps the best place for me to look for what I want this next year to hold is not to look at what I didn't do or accomplish last year or the year before or the year before, you get the picture. But rather ask myself  what God wants me to accomplish this next year. What does He think is important? Now that might be a new beginning to a great new year, wouldn't it?
