Vision, Intention, Means

Those three words wreck me. (I hope they continue to wreck me throughout this life and into the next). When you start to look at your life through that sieve, things can get pretty ugly. I am not even talking about your theology necessarily. I am talking about how you live your day in and day out life with your family, and how you look at your finances and how you raise your children...Taking your whole life into account.

I am a doer. I like lists and I like to check them off...Twice even and I like to feel like I am doing something. The Achilles heel in all of that, is that I will make a list and check it off and feel better about myself for doing it, without even realizing that I may have made the wrong list. Whoops! Time out.....I am Turning 32 this April and I have just realized that I have been going about this list thing all wrong for 32 years now. At least I am not 62:-) What my dear husband has helped me see is that making a list without having the accurate vision and philosophy before hand just becomes a way for me to feel safe without really moving forward in a tangible way. Gulp!

Here is to one major do over.
