so, today i am officially hitting the reset button.  the last few months have been totally growing months in SO MANY places.  i feel like i have been learning so much about grace and control and having more joy.  in other areas, i have totally gone off the rails.  (isn’t it amazing how often the very good and the very bad coincide?)

so, in order to get this engine back to chug-chug-chugging, i am picking today as the day i started moving in a different direction.  the day i started heading north.  it’s the day i start just doing what i need to do.  i am officially a nike slogan.  (despite my love for under armour, the “protect this house” just didn’t work quite as well!)   i tell helicopter every day as he leaves for school to make the right decisions even when it’s hard, and i am ready to do it too.  even when it’s REALLY hard.  luckily for me, there won’t be a corresponding color system as there is with him.

and i haven’t abandoned grace.  accepting grace as i journey will definitely be necessary to stay on the rails.  it will be critical to fall off the horse and get right back on.

who’s with me?  if you want, you could even tell us in the comment in what area you are going to change directions.  mine is health.  i am going to be kind to the one body that God gave me.  i am going to take care of it, water it, and make it sure it’s getting its recommended medicine.  i only have the one, so i should make sure the engine remains purring.   what about you?

i adore you people.
