It’s Monday and I have been searching for my goals for the week. Sometimes the goals are obvious and simple and are a natural fit for scheduled events. Sometimes, like this week, I have shallow goals about rearranging furniture that I will keep on the list, but they don’t deserve to be a main focus for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have three goals that I keep thinking about, but continue to push away. In fact, I haven’t written them down yet because I don’t like them. One is that I know I need to invite this person to walk with me one day this week. Next, I know I need to contact an isolated friend who I have not shown up for in a long time. The last is that I ache to play my violin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cue the voices of doubt,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But she will probably not want to walk with me because I am old and I don’t think she likes me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s too late<\/em>, what can I possibly do to make up for lost opportunities?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I just want comfort this week of high school graduation, not growth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I will never be able to sustain the practice I need to improve on the violin.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If I say I want to have an open correspondence with God, I need to listen when He speaks to me so I am fluent in His language. Above all, I want to be trusted with His work. Here are some ways that I have come to recognize God’s voice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I guess this week is to be about courage and people and growth, not just comfort. I am changing my list. Thanks for helping me sort this out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2665\ufe0f,<\/p>\n\n\n\n A<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s Monday and I have been searching for my goals for the week.
