I like this quote...I believe it is true.

"Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity."

What do Diets and Blogging have in common?

I've decided that starting a blog is like starting a diet. When you first start either one, you are fueled by optimism and good intentions. You are so excited about this new thing, that you even tell people what you are doing. And that all works pretty well--as long as you continue to diet/blog. But then one day, you don't feel so inspired. You find yourself at Sonic ordering a cherry Creamslush and chili-cheese tater tots and days/weeks/months go by before you post anything on your blog. It's that moment you feel like a fool for telling anyone that you were going to diet or blog.

I am a tangled vine of good intentions and undisciplined focus. I both desire and fear success. I can be generous and kind. And I can be stingy and grouchy. There are days I feel the passion and power to follow Jesus. There are other days I just drift along. I am grateful that every day, there is God's grace and the chance to start over again.
