"One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple." ~Psalm 27:4
Success in any endeavor does not happen by accident. Rather, it is the result of deliberate decisions, concious effort and immense persistence- all directed at specific goals. ~Gary Ryan Blair

Season's change... people change....
It's been almost a year since I've updated this thing?!?! Holy smokes! I've thought a lot about "blogging" lately, just as a way to get things off my chest. I'm determined to do it more often and, now that I've actually logged on with my laptop-rather than the computer in Ainslee's room, I might do it more often!
Oh, life. It is a daily blessing. I've learned a lot over the past year. A lot about God. A lot about family, friends, and how those two change when God is moved to the center of my life- rather than the outskirts. What's the deal with that? What scares so many people about having a relationship with God? I remember clearly when a good friend told me about 10 years ago that God had become a big part of her life. My first thought, seriously, was, "Oh, great. She's not going to be ANY fun now." Of course, my views have since changed. She is actually so fun to be around. Now, though, I wonder if people are thinking that about me. Are they thinking that I am constantly judging them while I sit at home and read my bible, while watching Highway to Heaven? :) That one just gave me a chuckle. The truth is, NO! I'm much more interested in helping people build a relationship with God then I am in judging their actions. Don't get me wrong, nobody is perfect and there are times when I catch myself judging. It's ok, though. I'm working on that, daily.
I guess what I am trying to get at is this... being a Christian doesn't mean a person is no fun, or constantly judging others, or thinking of themselves as being perfect. It means that they are willing to admit that they are NOT perfect and they need help- a savior. Jesus Christ is my Savior and I have no problem saying that.
There is my update. I'll try to do it more frequently :)
