How many half finished cross-stich, knitting, sewing, painting, etc. projects are left undone around my home? A lot, I dare say. Then, I wonder why? I can only come up with one reason...life.It seems when life gets messy or jumbled, I need some project that I can control, create, feel positive about...it eases my mind. Then, when my bordom wanes, or craziness ends, I'm all at peace and lose interest in the little projects. They just don't hold my attention as they once had and over time are forgotten.
Sometimes, I feel like a failure...never completing things. But then I remember...He has a bigger plan. Am I fitting into His bigger plan? Am I seeking His will and showing His heart to people around me? Does it really matter that I have unfinished projects? I can't get so tied up into the trivial things of this world and neglect the eternal. So, now... I see my unfinished projects not as a sign of failure, but rather as a symbol of the many times He's pointed me back on to the right path, the many times He brought me back to life!
So, whether you finish all your projects or leave them undone like me, it's okay...just keep LIVING. Get back in the game. Get your course corrections and enjoy the trip! Don't beat yourself up for little things undone...let them loose...free yourself from their hold...and LIVE!
When will I be back to blog again? I'm not certain. But in the meanwhile, know that my sails are full! :-)
