"He gave us the ability to take action because he wants us to freely move forward rather than him forcing our steps. He will wait patiently until we choose to begin. Don't let unrealistic expectations or idealistic ambitions hold you back any longer." - Holley Gerth from The 'Do What You Can' Plan
This, this , and this!!!
I started on this journey in my heart last year. Something inside said yes over and over again as I though about it...
Really it wasn't even anything that specific but a bunch of thoughts jumbled in my brain waiting to get out. Really that's all it is, to tell my story through my words. Everyday I tell my kids story or my husbands story. There is so much still there, sitting and wondering. When you take those thoughts and get them out of that little, yet endless space in your head they start to take on a whole new meaning and a complete story...validity.
So when this journey began last year, what did I do, I threw myself into my story{well what I thought was my story}, but it wasn't. It was my life but not my true story. I would feel those little heart strings being pulled by little things...
Thoughts I would have about everyday things
An inspirational blog I'd read that reminded me of my situations
An event that happened in my everyday life of motherhood that got me thinking
A sermon I had heard at church
Book recommendations I had seen that made my to read list longer and longer
A friends asking for advice
It has never been one big ah-ha moment, it's many non-significant occurrences that really turn into life altering circumstances.
So here we are now half way through January and I am finally taking those first steps and truly examining where to start, where to go, where to end.
My mustard seed goal and start to my God-sized dreams is to show my true self this year and document it without fear of what people will think or what people will say! Through my everyday experiences, thoughts, and words I hope to make what's up their jumbled in my brain become concrete and start on a road. A road to where I am still not sure of yet but I road I am ready to jump on and take.
