A Few Thoughts

Thanks to Larissa I am now more blog savy. The internet can be so overwhelming, there are so many options. Lately I am discovering that I like to keep things simple. Even when I was trying to choose my new layout I was fried by the number of choices. I like this one for now. I will probably change it at some point.

On another note Tim is taking his first certification test for school. It's a two day oral and practical exam. He is studying very hard, but I know he is anxious about it. I have full confidence in his ability to do well. Keep him in your prayers next Monday and Wednesday.

If you don't use it you lose it, if you ever had it.

I don't use computers much in my line of work. I was attempting to change my blog layout. The site I was on made it seem as simple as 123. Its not!! I am having a dissconnect somewhere along the way that is making the task completely impossible. I know that there is some quick step that would complete the chasm, but it is way beyond my knowledge. So I a lay person in the world of blogging am reduced to using what is provided by this site. HMPH!!!

Quote

Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In those choices lie our growth and our happiness.

I received this quote recently and it has been on my mind ever since. I am always talking myself out of action. My response is usually no. I always pray that my answer will be YES. Every time I answer with a no I feel safe, but disappointed by my choice. Over the last week or so when I think about doing something that is uncomfortable or pushes me instead of resisting I have been choosing to follow through and say yes.

At church yesterday the question was posed to us would we be willing to do whatever God asks of us. I have heard this lesson before, but I usually discounted it. I'm not sure what I will choose in that next space but I do desire growth and happiness.
