 you need to do and or want to get?

It's always fun to dream, right?

It's always nice to dream! right?

Right now, all I'm working on is getting a truck to move. 

Paying my horses' vet bill and getting the car taken care of. 

Eventually I will be able to check everything off of the list. One thing at a time. 

I don't usually buy too much for Christmas. In years past, I've made things for the grandkids. 

and hopefully this year I will be able to dig out the sewing machine and continue the tradition.

I'm hoping to be moved and settled in by fall so I can work on Christmas presents.

The animals always get in the budget, the car getting fixed is a necessity. 

The extra's come when there is extra in the budget. 

I don't buy lottery tickets very often, so I really don't see myself winning anything big. 

As they say, you gotta play to win! And I don't play lol.

Of course there is always something that 'comes up', 

whether it's a needed repair, injury or accident.

There is always something that jumps in the plans. 

It's just nice to have a list, goals to work for. 

Always fun to dream. 

What's on your wish list? 

Blessed by God

Leap of Faith

 Sometimes there is nothing you can do about a situation. Nothing you say will change the way someone thinks. You have to just let it go and keep moving forward. Prayer helps. God knows the truth, leave it in God's hands and let Him do what He chooses to do with it. Sometimes He will fix it and sometimes even He will let it go. It's not your sin, you didn't do anything wrong. We are all instruments of 'free will'. He doesn't change our minds, to do what is right. He gives us opportunity to do what is right on our own. Sadly, not everyone has the conviction for it. 

 Life is messy. There are so many influences in each one of our lives. The good, the bad and so many in between. Parents raise their children, but the world influences them. 'Free Will' gives each of us the choice to decide what we will do and which way we will go. More often than not, people are hurt by other people's choices. How we handle the pain is our own choice. We can let it continue to hurt, or we can choose to heal and move forward. 

 We cannot change the past, not our own nor anyone else's. We live in the now. Too often that is forgotten with planning the future. 'The now' is missed out on, because we are waiting for 'tomorrow'.  It's good to think about the plans for tomorrow, but not to let it waste our time today. Every minute is an opportunity to live in the 'now'. Look for the good in this moment, don't wait for the 'good' to come. Look around right now and you will see something to smile about. No matter how dark a moment might feel. 

 Living in a dark situation can be depressing, hard to cope with and sometimes it feels like it's never going to end. Shut it out. Ignore the people that choose to bring you down and make life so dark. Remember who you are and be YOU. Live for you. It's okay to hope and pray that the situation will change or come to an end. And one day it probably will. Don't let it make you so bitter you forget who you are. Don't let it stop you from finding happiness and joy in life, today. Tomorrow will come. 

 You just have to have faith. Sometimes you have to jump with a leap of faith, to get to where you really want to be. Sometimes you have to walk away from people and situations that are not right for you in your life. No matter how scary or uncertain it can be. You can't always get rid of the negative in an instant, sometimes it takes time. Don't live paralyzed waiting for tomorrow. Remember to live for today. 

 Make the changes in your own life that will bring you closer to God and let God, work on everything else. Focus Forward and Just Breathe. Be real, keep it real. Respect yourself and life. You don't have to respect those that bring you down, but you don't have to be disrespectful either. 

 God knows the truth; God sees your heart. Trust in God. Take the leap of faith. 

Blessed by God
