Is a cupcake for breakfast really such a bad things? As Bill Cosby says, cake has eggs and flour. Two things also contained in a bran muffin, right? So they're not that different. So one has pink frosting and the other has nutritional value. On a Monday morning (which is one of my least favorite days of the week) which would you choose to brighten your day?

We are doing a study on Joseph's life at church. I signed up for it on a whim and until I showed up the day it began I actually had no idea what the study was about or what it was titled. I know, I know. What kind of person signs up for something she knows nothing about? But the thing is, if I had taken the time to read the title I wouldn't have gone anywhere near it. The title is, "keeping your focus WHEN YOUR DREAMS SHATTER". Knowing from experience that God often takes you through studies that either already are or are about to become very applicable, I very literally began to panic. I didn't know of any shattered dreams as of yet, so what was going to happen to me? When was the bottom going to fall out? Can I sneak out the door without anyone noticing?
I did not sneak out and nothing has happened. Yet. And I am not sitting here waiting for the ax to fall. I decided right away if it was going to fall the least I could do was enjoy the right now when my dreams are relatively intact. I'm taking to heart the "tomorrow has enough worries of it's own" thing. That is God's grace today. The grace God has ready to pour out on me tomorrow will not make my dreams shatter-proof, but it will make more real to me the truth, honor, righteousness, purity, loveliness, goodness, excellence, and worthiness of my God's love for me.

It has been a while since I posted anything and that's because I found blogging to be a bit like picture-taking for me. I'm horrible at remembering to take pictures of my kids or events or... well, pretty much anything. I get busy doing whatever it is I'm doing or laughing at whatever my kidling is saying and I forget to snap a photo of it. Same thing with blogging. I'm busy doing and I forget to be blogging. Not that I'm busy doing anything really important. Which is probably part of the problem. Most days, I'm not that interested in what I'm doing and I'm for sure and certain that writing it down and letting other people read about it won't make it one iota more attention-grabbing.

Which is why I'm going to attempt this blogging thing again. I have a list of things that, if I ever become my ideal, I'll be busy doing. And blogging is on that list. I like to write and I like to share my thoughts, ideas, and lists with people (whether they are a willing audience or no). So here I go...
