Here we are, only 10 days into the new year and I am already behind! I had every intention of beginning the work on the devotional book I've promised myself and God that I would write; however here I am again 10 days behind! This is not something new, I've felt convicted to write this for several years, I just always come up with excuses not to work on it. Hubby dearest helped knock out one of the last & biggest reasons when he gave me a new laptop for Christmas; and he is also an inspiration to me with his faith and belief that I can do whatever I set my mind to!
I've also begun to review books and I am very excited about that. That will also be an incentive to become a more steadfast and dedicated blogger.
Tonight we celebrated Hubby Dearest's birthday -#59! Its hard to believe that we are so close to retirement age, of course I'm already retired/disabled/or whatever we choose to call me! Anyway I was reminiscing and just wondering how the time had slipped away so quickly. Whatever happened to those long ago days of young love and babies and just celebrations of life? I was thinking of how we froze and saved the top layer of our wedding cake for an entire year and of course thawed and ate it in celebration of our 1st year together. There always seemed to be a reason to celebrate, I remember making a special dinner and cake for our 1 month anniversary. Anyway I seem to be wandering in circles around my train of thought - celebrations. These next few months are the family birthday months so we will be doing more celebrating. But somewhere in the all the hubbub I want to make sure I take the time and celebrate Jesus and my relationship with him. I get a little off track with all the celebrating and I just want to make sure of my focus. I need to be working on this devotional book not for personal monetary gain but for my own peace of mind, for guidance and wisdom, giving me hope and assurance, and drawing me to His side. This is one of my "resolutions".
