“Many years ago a dear friend started doing what she called “Project 365”, 365 days of photos and counting your blessings. So I aim to choose to change my way of seeing things and set my heart and eyes, once again, on my daily blessings. Come along for the ride if you wish.” Those are the words I spoke again all too long ago. I have such a perfectionist personality, with many other faults to the same; ocd, ocpd, attention deficit, and I’m sure more. But it is that, that stops me from doing what I desire. Because if I can’t do it perfect, I neglect it completely. But where are the blessings in that? Where is the choice to see what you have been given and more importantly, who you have been given. So here’s to another year of trying.
January 1, 2024
We started the year differently than we have any other. We hosted a small gathering of my sister Brandi and brother in law Phill. Dustin hung a little. Kamden hung with us for the entire night. Skylar went to dinner with an old middle school, turned college, friend. We knew our children were with safe and trusted company and that brings a peace this time of year.
My prayer for myself this year:
”Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.“ Ephesians 4:1-4
