Eclectic Waters

Archive for January, 2010

I’ve been thinking a lot these last days – the new year will do that to you.

I’m in a good place – while I see small things that could be improved – most of my life is in order.

This has awakened a sense of boringness and discouragement – I do much better when I have a goal or challenge to work towards or through.

So… I’ve been thinking and praying and while I don’t want to make a goal for the sake of a goal, I don’t want to drift.

I went to the beach this morning – hoping the stunning beauty of pounding waves and sea foam washed on sand would calm me and help me reach some ephiphanies.

Then I went to church and heard an excellent message on staying away from creating a list of do’s and instead focusing on what God is doing around me – becoming aware of His presence in even the mundane and being faithful in the things He has already placed in my life -

then I had coffee with a dear friend who shares her deepest heart with me and who holds my deepest heart tenderly when I reveal it – we usually cry at least once during our conversations and her honesty, tenderness and encouragement are a gift from God.

all this to say. I’m still thinking – and while I have pieces of the answer in my palms and although it does not involve a list of any kind -

I am feeling ready to launch into the New Year.

Let the adventure continue…

It was a blast!

One of my dreams – to have a home to entertain in. Because I rent a room in the house I currently live in, I have been hesistant to throw parties/have people over here. I think this year I will get over that and simply do it (checking in with my roomate first of course).

We had around 25 people over and it was fun.
