Not so typical.

Normally, I would post about theology or biblical truths that have struck me.  But not today.  I have made some recent decisions (ones I thought I would never make) and have since committed the next year of my life to accomplishing goals.  Not just any goals, but things that have been dear to my heart for years but I have never pursued.  Some of them will be difficult, maybe unattainable.  Others are silly and superficial but nevertheless I am going to do them.

I love art. (*sigh. Who doesn't these days?).  I love being creative.  I have since I was a little girl.  Painting, drawing, taking pictures, decorating, designing, coloring, rearranging my room, changing the color of the walls. You name it, I did it.  I also loved being different. Unique.  I never wanted to look or act like anyone else. Which is why I have hesitated to be "artsy" and creative lately because, lets be honest, its painfully trendy.  But I don't care anymore.  I am going to wear my over sized, funky earrings.  I am going to take millions of pictures.  Wear mismatched nail polish, and shirts that are two sizes too big.  Draw on my wrist and my feet.  I am not going to cover my freckles with make-up.  I am not going to try and tan my fair skin.  I am going to do and be whatever I want.  Because cliches are true, and life is short.

To do:
Write a book (or maybe two?).
Get to the point where I can financially rely on my photography.
Create something everyday.
Get a tattoo...?
Pour myself into the youth ministry at my church.
Start a ladies bible study with a friend.
Re-read my entire Bible.
Pay off my student loan entirely.
Learn to play the piano.
Take a photo everyday (with my 1980 Minolta)
Wear my heart and self on my sleeve.
Listen to God. Hear his will. Trust His promises. Bring Him glory.


That is all I have for now. But I am always thinking, planning, and aspiring.  So who knows what I'll want to accomplish tomorrow. :)
