Check In The Box Gal


It was brought to my attention that I just might be a "Check The List Kind of Gal". Now you might be asking what exactly does that mean. This kind of gal or person is someone who has a list of things in life and their goal is to check one off at a time and go to the next, check and keep going. For example.......
college,check,
job, check,
marriage, check,
babies, check,
better house, check
better job - check, and so on.
As I thought about it more, it really started to bother me. These type of people just want more and more. Nothing truly satisfies these people because they constantly want more. Once a box is checked, it's on to the next thing. Now don't get me wrong, it's not wrong to have goals. But I just don't want to be someone who tries to plan out their whole future. I want to be trusting God in the here and now and allow Him to work right where I am at. Whatever box HE lets you check off, thank Him for that and be grateful. But don't live life unsatisfied because you can't reach one. Maybe God doesn't want that for you right now! I am going to try and throw my list away and allow God to direct my life!!! I have a feeling His boxes are much better!:)

Where has the time gone?

Bryan and I at the Chris Daughtry concert


I can't believe that Christmas is almost here. Where has time seriously gone? Every year time flies by faster and faster. It honestly freaks me out!........... I am aware I haven't blogged forever. I haven't really felt like writing lately. I read so many other blogs and am blown away at how many great writers there are. Then I read mine and just laugh. I am by no means a writer!!!!! But I am going to try to write more in 2010, so that means I have a few more months to be blog lazy and then it's over. Laziness that is! I do think much more will be going on in 2010, that will be very exciting for me. I can't wait to share t2010 with my readers, that is if I have any! So lookout b/c I am going to become a serious blogger in 2010. Or so I hope! HAHAHA
