January Musings

I'm a little late on a New Year's post, but what's new? I've been thinking about resolutions and decided not to jinx myself as I inevitably fail at the follow through, somewhere around April. Of course there are changes that need to be made, areas that I want to improve on, but I'm trying to find practical ways I can implement some changes, hopefully lifestyle changes. Many repeat offenders: exercise more, read my bible more, eat better, etc. I saw a sticker on a friend's facebook wall that said, "I can't believe it's been a year since I didn't become a better person." I found that so funny and, unfortunately so... spot on.
All that said, I'm turning 30 in a few months and realizing that things have been changing in me. Not in the expected freak-out-cuz-i'm-almost-30-way.
God is... stirring things up in me. At least that's the way I see it. All of the sudden, I feel like I've got things to do. I feel like, I can do anything. I've discovered interests and passions, and I'm energized. Now, simultaneously I feel limited because, let's face it, how much free time does a stay-at-home mom have to pursue these things? Pretty much the time my children are asleep. And some of that time I need to sleep. BUT, even with my time constraints (and who doesn't have those?), I'm feeling hopeful, energetic, and full of potential.
More to come about some of these interests, but I'm excited. I can't help but feel I'm finally starting realize my potential, at 30... took me long enough :) I just hope I can pursue what I should, and have the wherewithal to see them through.
I'll expound soon. Something to look forward to... all three of you that read this.
