2014

i have sat down probably 10 times to write a post in this little ole blog but just haven't been sure which route i want to take in this little old blog.

yes, i still love a good find at target.

still love pinterest ideas and seeing them come to fruition.

but ya know what? the last few minutes I feel like God has really been pressing something into my soul.

that is not what we are here for.

I am not here to take artsy fartsy instagram pictures and see how many "likes" i can get.

i am not here to have the cutest decorations in our guest room.

i don't want my worth and happiness to be defined by what a great deal I got at Target. or how many cross fit workouts I did that week. 

and a few months ago, I felt like I was going down that way. 

once again, i still am drawn to all these sad sob news stories happening around the world.

just today, a senior at one of our local high schools was killed in a car accident.  when it comes down to it, what really matters? that I had awesome Christmas decorations and cute wrapping paper?

i drive down that same hill she drove down all the time. that could have so easily been me. who flipping cares that the dessert I made for my new year's party tasted like sdf&83*? ( i am ashamed to admit that my failed champagne cake fail put me in a bad mood for literally half a day.)

nope. pretty sure that is not what God has in mind with our precious time here.

and this blog tended to make me focus on things that I don't really want to focus on in 2014. simple as that. :)

so here's to a new year and a new focus :)

cheers! :)
