One of my goals for the new year is to get back to blogging once a week. So today is a fresh start. I have gotten back to keeping my twitter and facebook updated at least once in a 24 hour period and so today starts the move towards getting back on the horse of sharing my thoughts weekly here.
The Journey has been crazy with the addition of number two. I find myself with even less time to myself or quiet time to read. However, I have seen how great a blessing children can be.
Grace took her first steps on January 1. What a sight to see. She was so excited and so were we. It was amazing to see her face light up with each step she took. She figured out she could do it. She could walk. She was filled with joy to the point she was laughing with every step she took.
How I wish we could all could experience our faith journey with such joy and excitement. I wish we could have that kind of laughter when we are taking those steps into place we have never gone before. The truth is walking is something that has lost it meaning. It is just something I have been doing forever. It is routine.
I don't think God want us to forget the joy of walking. Just as a small child overcomes their fears and puts skills into action to begin walking, we too must overcome our fears and put our skills in action everyday. We should be laughing as we walk each day.
So just as Grace takes baby steps to walking everyday, I am going to try taking baby steps to walking daily with God and at least sharing weekly what amazing, crazy, and joyful things I encounter.
One of my goals is to try and not just walk where I want to go and see Jesus, but to seek to walk where Jesus is already walking and join him and see what he is seeing.
Wish me luck!
