My goal for 2009


"Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! "
~ Henry David Thoreau
I've been thinking about life lately. My life in particular. I find that for far too long I've let silly details consume my life and steal my joy. I want this year to begin my journey toward serenity. I want to find pleasure in stillness. I want to seek God. I want to put aside things that distract me and sit in the stillness of His beauty. I want to learn to pray and share my heart and soul with the One they were created for. I want to be defined by more then my job. I want to believe that I'm okay even if I'm single. I want to find new ways to express myself. I want to create. I want to see. Maybe I want to much.... but I will continue to strive for it.....
"...make it your goal to live quietly, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands..."
- 1 Thessalonians 4:11
