So Many Thoughts, Not Enough Space or Time

Okay so I could sleep late this morning and I woke up before four am.  I finally got up at five something and pushed the button on the coffee pot.  Why?  Who knows why I woke up so early, but I dreamed a lot last night.  Some of my dream had to do with renewing our vows, but the hymn Tenderly and Softly ( I think that is correct) kept running through my mind.  Of course I am always thinking about how I can increase my income from writing, and I'm not talking about writing content.  I can do that and I'm okay with that, but I have an extremely hard time writing about things I have no interest in or care about.  So I know that just writing content is never going to be enough income.  I love writing stories, books, poems (although I'm not as good at poems) and just little articles or pages dealing with life.  I have writing posted on the website called triond and you make money off of it for people viewing or reading or whatever you want to call it.  I've received a notice today that I made a whole .51 cents on the site this last month.  Okay I know you are laughing, but here's the thing, I've not posted anything new on that site probably in months.  So to make money when I haven't added anything new, means something to me.  I also have articles and stories on http://www.helium.com/ and I have two or three dollars accumulated on that site as well, but you can't get paid from that one unless you have 25.00 or more. 

On Monday of this week, I made a list of things that I wanted to work on this week, and I kind of starting working towards my goal of losing 35 pounds.  By the way, I've lost 4 pounds since the 27th of December, and I'm not really trying, just increasing protein, water intake and the amount I eat, and how often I eat.  Anyway, the list I compiled looked like this:

Triond
Helium
Blogs
Budget - completed, but needs to be changed a little
Math
Caity's Blanket
journal
devotional
Food log
telephone service - completed
vacuum cleaner belts - borrowed my niece's instead
Grant gopher
Vince's stuff - I've tried and I don't think I can accomplish this one.

Things I've done that weren't on that list are as follows:
made dog treats
cleaned the house
did laundry
exercised
new cell phones activated

Today is Thursday and the chances that I will get anything else done on the original list is very slim.  I did start a journal entry this morning and I did make a list of items we still need to pay by the end of January, and that one is in God's hands.  There is a recovery meeting tonight and I'm going to try to go, but... we will just leave it at that.  (Ugh I need to take something out of the freezer for dinner)

I know that God never leaves us and we just have to trust in Him completely.  That was my one and only resolution for the year, To Trust In God and Step out in Faith.  So here it is God.  I know you can sort through it and show me where and how, when, and why, and what. 

May you all have a God Filled and Blessed Day!

Happy New Year + 3 days

Okay so I'm a little late posting the first blog for the New Year, but I've been sick since 12/27/09. So I've seen some blogs where people have made New Year Resolutions, but no one ever keeps them, so instead of resolutions I have set goals. Of course with goals you should allow for set backs and have a strategy for working around obstacles right? Okay well I'm not sure I have a strategy for working around the obstacles and they have already struck, so I'm just going to state my goals and pray again for divine intervention. I know God hears and its says you just have to claim it for it to be yours! So my cousin and I state our goals in an email on New Years Day and we have both claimed it. Of course now the devil gets to play havoc with our goals. So if you made New Years Resolutions, please feel free to share. If you made goals that is excellent as well. Please register your email address on the link to my blog. Okay and here are my goals:



0. To become more involved with church and make Jesus a bigger part of our lives.

1. To become or to be acknowledge as a published writer/author.

2. To find a income solution other than working as a general contractor for me and my husband.

3. To become debt free(this one will probably take longer than 1 year, but we will start)

4. To find land and build our house free and clear and live off of our land.



Those are not many goals, but it is a start. This is going to be our year and yes it has not started off on a great foot, but it can only get better. May God Bless you in 2010.
