Guiding me into Reality

1.Start a Blog.

It's now three months into the year and the thing that keeps me smiling is how the things on this list seem to be falling into me lap.

I struggle to move ideas and intentions from my head into actions in reality. That is the main reason why I have a list of concrete things to do, with access for people to hold me accountable.

Most of the stuff to do is fun, some is serious, some are about conquering fears. All of them are about getting into the habit of making things real.
My life is not real if it's lived all in my head.

As I've said, it has been so encouraging to see how God has kinda been rooting for me in this. It seems so many times the Holy Spirit has prompted me to see things as opportunities to tick my list off. I'm seeking to make things real.

I was promted to give flowers to Maxine, we went to the Zoo for my Sisters birthday, to a Greek resturant for Nancy's birthday. I'm learning to speak Korean, with the incredible grace of  my Korean friends around me. I've worn my slippers to the mall, and worn a different colour of the rainbow each day of a week. I've been blessed by feeding an under priveleged child, I'm vegetarian for Lent. I got to see my favorite SA band LIVE, Got their autographs AND did something awesome for my special friends Udo and Eddie for Valentine's day. And most recently, I've returned to my state of blondeness!

Alot of these things I've done with my Sister, which has strengthened our relationship. Most of the time the things I've done have served others, or at least brought them some joy. NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS RANDOM, of this I am sure!

This journey is fun, tedious and overwhelming at times, but fun. The Holy Spirit is definately my buddy in this!

"And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5:5 (NIV)

Thank You God that I'm not alone, that that which I hope for is attainable through Your Guiding Spirit.
