1. Be healthier and have fun doing it. So I have started a three day a week cardio dance routine learning Swing from home. Ok... I have always wanted to do this since junior high and never got the chance. I might be older than the usual beginner and look hilarious, but it is fun. I have removed sugar and soda (or pop depending on where you grew up) from my diet. I do make exceptions during the last week of the month and have a small square of dark chocolate I keep in my freezer. Those who know me understand how HUGE this is for me. The first three days were very hard but it is getting easier as the cravings disappear.
2. Document my life by the end of 2010. My goal is to write and journal my life story into a Blurb book by the end of the year. But, this week God has been tugging on my heart...
While making our genealogy album I was moved by one of the family member's documentation of their childhood. It was through Dorothy's writings that I learned about how her life was growing up. I felt like I got to know her and her siblings. So, I thought it would be good to write my life story for my son and family after me.
But is that enough?
God has been showing me this week that my story is more than just where I was born or grew up. My story is more than the things I do everyday. My story is more than my hobbies. So I was asking myself, "What is my story?" I was thinking about that and I realized that my story is the moments in my life that made me the person I am today.
The real goal and the challenge I am also giving you today is to document those moments that made you who you are. Good or bad. Document your story.
