Struggling....

Commitment. 30 days of blogging. This is going to be tough on most days I can see that now. But I am determined. I know already that I will struggle with having something to say everyday (weird, I know)...something that is interesting, insightful, witty anything worth writing. I know I can do this...I just have to work at not trying so hard. Nothing just stands out today. I could tell all about my day and traveling with friends two hours N to pick up a saltwater aquarium. That just seems boring though. I will have to start looking throughout my day for things that might prove interesting enough to write about. Bear with me. Creative writing is a struggle but I know I can do this. Surely it will enrich my life in some measure. I'm sure that by going through this month I will be forced to see things differently and to pay attention to things worthy of sharing here. I'm going to give it my best effort. I'm hopeful at least.

The only other thing done today was church which was really very good. The best part of that was our youngest decided to go after not attending in several months due to his work schedule. Since his schedule changed recently I guess he figured he should go. He even attended the 2nd service alone because I have class and we attend 3rd service. Pretty cool for a 19 year old I think. I don't prompt him though on occasion I ask if he is planning on going. I figure it's my job to do that sometimes because it's planting a seed that when others water it somewhere in his day or his life that it will surely grow. I tend to stand back, watching and waiting. I like to see how God works in my life and in the lives of those around me. With him, he is fully aware of God working in and around his life because there have been occasions in the past couple of years when we casually talk about his life, the things that happen and stuff that seems pertinent at the moment. He's been through a whole lot of things in his life already. He knows who has brought him through everything. I think God has a big plan for him. He spared his life at the age of 7 for a purpose when he could have died---when the doctor just couldn't give us any hope as they prepped him for a helicopter ride to Vandy---yes, spared him for a purpose. I have no doubt that when it's time, my son will respond. I have it on good authority that once a good work is begun, the Lord will see it through.
