When I look back I see so many that many things that had slipped my mind....dinners, concerts, meetings, appointments, coffee dates.....
I also see events that changed my life.....births, deaths, changes of jobs, how did I manage to do all of this in one year.....
Now I must admit, I love to be busy.....and the diary for 2008 is already looking scary....which is great....but our lives are going to be a little different this year, so my time is going to have to be managed well....how do I do this???
Well that is the question I have been thinking about over these last couple of days as 2007 comes to an end.....what do I need to cut from my busy schedule to make room for the new opportunities coming our way.....and a big part of me is saying...."nothing, don't cut out anything"...its all part of what makes up your life....its what makes life comfortable and safe.
But the reality is how can I accept new challenges into my life...when I have no room for them? I know I have to change but if you've read any of my other blogs you will know what I think about change...
So as we enter into 2008, I look forward to the challenges open to both Paul and myself....even if it does require change....God has a plan for our lives and I just have to leave it to him.....I know with his strength and guidance in our lives I will cope and accept the change for what it is......
Have you thought about changes for 2008.....check out last year's diary and see what you achieved.....it will amaze and encourage you. Now look at what you can achieve this year.....
I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Psalm 146:2
