GO!

I feel that I have all these desires and ideas.. but I don't have the energy or motivation to execute them. Why? I am really doing some self re evalutation. When Derek and I first were dating he asked me the question: "What are your goals, five year, and ten year?" I was stunned. Goals? well, I had a goal of wearing a certain outfit for that paticular evening, that is about how far I got with goals at that time in my life. I have since learned that when you set goals,and/or deadlines it keeps your focus on what you need to do to complete them.
I have set a goal to run a half marathon in May.. Have I really started to train? no. I am trying to look for my motivation.
2/3's of God's names mean GO! I believe that we have desires in our hearts for a reason. Not for them just to fester, and then when we still haven't accomplished them we feel guilty, anxious, and depressed. I believe that people are filled with gifts and talents. But when we don't plant these gifts and talents, we will never recieve or see the harvest.
I am reading this great book "Forces that form your future" by Kevin Gerald. In this book he talks about how some archeologists found seeds in Egypt that were about 2000 years old. They planted these seeds, and indeed there was a harvest. No matter how long a seed has been in your heart, whenever we decided to plant it, it will reap a harvest. It is never too late to start planting seeds.. good seeds.

I'm wanting a harvest of good friends,prosperity,health,healthy habits,close relationship with God, my husband, and my children. So I am very concious of what kind of seeds that I am planting. I am not perfect and I have to ask for forgivness from God, and my family often. But at least I'm stepping forward. I'd rather do life making mistakes, then waiting for life to come to me.. Your future doesn't happen to you... it comes THRU you...
I want to sit on my porch in my rocking chair when I am 120 years old and look back on my life and say I LIVED.. I took risks,I succeeded my goals, I made mistakes,asked for forgivness, I fell, but got up again. Bottom line...I didn't quit! and I had FUN! I want to say that I truly lived my life to the fullest!
