2014 * M O R E

It was a rare, silent, 'all alone w/ my thoughts' drive. I was pondering my emptiness and lack of words, contemplating this little blog and what my point is here anyway? "I accepted that writing is a gift I am supposed to use, God. What do you want me to write?" And quickly and promptly came the answer, "I already told you and you didn't do it." It wasn't an accusing, angry voice, just gentle and matter of fact, and my eyes widened and all I could say was, "Oh!" Because I knew exactly what he meant. It's a New Year, a new, blank slate. I feel like my soul has been in the flat lands lately. Just a plain, dry, mechanical existence. Not down low-for sure not up high- just mediocre and flat, like Pepsi who's ice melted long ago! If I chose a word for 2014 I think it would simply be MORE - I want to be More, do More, try More, accomplish More...in so many areas of my life: Mom, Wife, Friend, King's Daughter! So, maybe a good start to this year would be to write what He told me to write many, many months ago...

  1. "...a plain, dry, mechanical existence." That describes it well, how I've felt, too.

    And just so you know even though I don't always comment, I thoroughly enjoy your writings. May you be granted "More" through Christ in 2014!

  2. "More" is a word in my vocabulary this year, as well! I want to 'be more' and 'do more' in lots of areas!

Two words about comments:
#1. If you leave a comment and it seems to disappear, that's because all comments go straight to my email and I publish them later.
#2. I know putting a comment out there for the world to see is scary but just know this -- if you leave a comment, you make my day!
