Dusting off the desk

     *peeks around the corner*

     Hi everyone! Wow, it's been a few months. I'd love to say I haven't been around because I've been so busy with all my plans, but that wouldn't exactly be the truth. I'll admit, some of my old procrastinator habits have been hard at work lately. On the bright side, though, I'm back to working on it.

     For a whole week (*eye roll* I know, a whole week, right?) I've been really trying to stay busy doing things that are worthwhile in the long run. I've gotten up every day (yes, every morning) early so I can do my devotions and start my day off with God. I've worked a little bit on editing my novel. I wrote a blog post (which I haven't done in forever).

     I've even allowed myself to be humbled at work. That brings to mind a question, though... why, when we go to work, do we often leave God at home? I mean, He's always with us, but we don't always acknowledge His presence at work. I do try, but sometimes, if a situation is getting me flustered or something, it's like I tell God, "Stay in the corner, I'll handle this one." I end up screwing things up and feeling like such a terrible representation of Christ. This is something I'm working on, but seriously . . . Why is it so easy to do that at work? Yes, this is an actual question. I'm seriously asking. I really want to know your opinions.

     Well, I know we're not there yet, but I feel like 2016 is going to be a big year for me. Like, really, super big! Why? You'll have to wait and see . . . okay, okay, I feel like this is the year for my ministry to get started. Which means, first, my book is going to be published, which means . . . I should probably finish it. Then . . . well, one step at a time. I'm determined to stay on task from now on and if/when exciting things happen, I'll be sure to keep you updated.

((PS - If you've read my most recent posts, you might have noticed I was trying to have a professional tone with this blog, and this post was, well, not so much. Well, this one, this is how I think. This one is me, and I'm learning (love my fourth day group!!) that being me is not so bad. So, the tone of this blog is changing and when I post something, it's just gonna be me, plain and simple, no professional expectations.))
