There I was sitting in my car… in line…waiting.
I glanced up and saw the MOST amazing thing. A tree that had most assuredly gone through years of growth—and had made it—despite all odds. It had broken through concrete blocks that had purposely been built to keep it out, to hold it down and not just one block of concrete…but layers. WoW!

When we found out we were going to be first time parents, we knew above all else we desired to instill in our children to love God and love others. Therefore we developed a tradition in our family called Love Projects, where we intentionally look for ways that we can serve others. As our daughter Jordyn prepared for 1st grade, we asked her to think of a big Love Project we could incorporate into her schooling.
When we made this suggestion, we were thinking along the lines of filling boxes for Operation Christmas Child, or adopting a family in need for Christmas. However, Jordyn came to us with way BIGGER dreams of what she wanted to do. In fact, the first Love Project she came up with was to send a family to Disney World after their 15-year old daughter finishes her chemotherapy.

I’m on my second week of insomnia now. It comes and goes, mostly coming versus going. The hormonal imbalance of a 28-year old could make for some great stories.

I may be young but I have more hot flash memories than I care to share. I know it’s bad when I’m sitting around a table with women ages 50+ discussing night sweats and who will use the menu to fan themselves first.
Today I’m honored to be guest posting for Mary DeMuth.

Do you? Have you tried? Sure we can manage to get the house and planner organized… but organizing is a life of itself. It is hard to live a full life and have any time left to organize.

I used to be a professional at making excuses.
I can’t go for a walk because I’m too fat. I can’t write a book because it’s just too much work. I can’t pursue relationships because I’ll fail. I can’t. I can’t. I can’t.

Every year that went by without taking action, something in my heart died. The spark of hope disappeared from my eyes. Passion withered away. Hope was lost.
For every day that passed and I stayed in the same spot, every dream that filled my mind faded further into the background. My desires became a distant memory, replaced by despair.
But everything didn’t die. Somewhere inside there was a tiny part that still strived to do something with my life.

I was in a movie once. Now, I’m famous. I even went to the premiere and brought my mom and best friend to watch. I felt pretty important — until my mom asked me to rewind the movie in the theater because the scene went by too fast.
I may have forgotten to mention I wasn’t the star. I didn’t even have a speaking part. I sat at the table with a complete stranger and was instructed to laugh when I heard the word “Action!”
After three takes, I got up and went home. I prepared myself for the agent to call and the deals to start rolling in. Six years later, I’m still waiting for the call.
Today I’m guest posting for Jeff Goins over at Goinswriter.com.
