Interal Shifts – Admitting Successes & Dreams Realized

Creative Dreamer 2010

Today I am giving myself permission to just post the list in response to the ABC Creativity blog and nothing more.  No further commentary… No digital layout… Just the list.

I know this surprises you… A week of back pain and lack of sleep has drained me – and when I’m tired – I’m pretty much spent.  My first achievement on the list should be that I actually got the list done and posted on my blog today!  :)

So… you know what to do… Click the “Read More” on the right there to see the list!

Philippians 4:7-9 (The Message)

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life!  Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

January 5th 2010

It is day 5 into Project 365 which is taking a photo every day…. and it’s probably a bad sign that I am already struggling in this.  There’s not much exciting or beautiful in my life right now… Now, don’t feel sorry for me – I do have wonderful kids.. But they are all I take pictures of and I’m trying to get away from that! my back has been out since the 1st of the month so we haven’t been able to get out – so it makes my 365 project…well…challenging…. to say the least!

So, want to know more about this picture?  I have a lot to say about it!  Click “Read More” to keep reading!

ABC Creativity Week #1

12-14″I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.”

Philippians 3:12-14, The Message

Well, here it is my first Sunday with the ABC Creativity blog.  It’s taken me 24 hours to put my list together.  My layout summarizes my list… But my actual list is much longer but I left many out of my layout because they fall under one of the things in the main list but I will add them here in my post!  My problem has never been dreaming – my problem is actually achieving the goals, follow through etc.

Ready?  Then click “Read More” to continue!
