I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back. (Phillipians 3:12-14 The Message)

A little self praise
Things are going really well for me personally. I volunteered to help start a blog for a ministry at church, and ended up being the one to run with it. And it feels good. I feel good that my blogging has paid off, and I have experience going into this new one. I feel good that people like what I have written, although I will never take credit or put my name on the site. Mostly I feel good because its a "God job" and its something that I feel God calling me to do.
Have you ever had to tell someone something or you would just burst? That is how I feel about "God stuff" in that if I don't do it, I will burst. Not that it is something that I don't want to do, I am absolutely loving it, I want to do it, I want to do it so much that if I don't I will explode. I am finding out that I am good, that I have gifts that God has given me and I am just being able to use them.
It feels good to start living up to my potential, it feels good to live the life I never even knew I could live. This life is the good life, not cars and money and fancy clothes, but that I am filled with a peace and joy that cannot be shaken. I have my loving husband, a home (thanks God for not letting it burn down!) my loving pets, good friends, a great job with great benefits, and things just keep looking up the more I work for God.
Words cannot describe other than the quote that I think of when I see the above photo: "that'll do pig, that'll do."

The photo makes me think how cute pigs are, n how similar we are to them in someways.
Self-awareness is good, but help directed at others is always more effective!
