As you may see to the left… I am inching closer to by “blogoversary”. It will be the blog’s 2nd birthday. I was thinking that as a gift to the blog, I would give it a new makover… but that’s been done enough for the year — and I’m really liking how that looks.
Instead, I decided to renovate my “about me” section. On that day, you are going to be able to get to know me probably more than you ever wanted to. I’ve temporarily taken down the “about me” link above in preparation for that. Sorry… you’ll have to live with what’s to the right. I think that’s a pretty good synopsis anyway.
And you only have to wait a week… the blogoversary is 12.22. YAY!
Ok… so on to the ACTUAL reason for this post. As I have been preparing some things for the days following the blogoversary to highlight what I’ve shared about my life with you over the past 2 years, I have found a couple of posts that really struck me. Really made me think. One of them is found
here.
That post was written on 02.07.08. Almost 2 years ago. And I realized as I read it that I haven’t changed much. I’ve stayed in the safety of the area I grew up and the safety of the things I know. Even the stuff I’ve done hasn’t been a change out of my “normal”… yes, I’ve been brought out of my comfort zone with some of the experiences (i.e. Dominican Republic Mission Trip & Breast Cancer 3-day Walk). I have yet to make any BIG and LASTING changes in my life.
And I feel like the
time is near.
Really near.
Not sure how it’s all going to happen — but I feel like there is something big… and unexpected that I am going to do soon that even I can’t imagine how my comfort zone is going to be affected. All I know is that I am prepared for it. God has prepared me for it.
I feel like I’m standing on the verge of excitement… on the verge of an adventure… the verge of something I’ve never experienced before. I don’t know if it’s out of Holland… or just a new experience here… but I am going to continue to pray about it. I’m going to continue to ask God to bless what is next, even though it hasn’t happened yet. I’m trying to have patience in it all and I’m trying not to try to rush myself into anything to quickly.
And while I’ve had some pretty amazing things happen to me this year — I still wonder… have I challenged myself to live “out of the box”? Have I changed my life to reflect what I believe and show others who I truly am?
Or am I simply living a healthier version of what I lived before?
