Overwhelmed is an understatement!

I was so excited to start this adventure last Sunday evening…and then Monday morning came…and life became reality. Sick dog, 92-year old mother, meetings, starting business venture, and lots of new MKE stuff to learn.

The cement that the Golden Buddha wore in the video Mark showed us seems like a skim-coat! But I spotted this blog image and it reminded me to never lose hope. Lord knows I have many layers of concrete to break away.

I am ignoring the fact that I have never read or used a blog before…even had to ask my husband what a blog was! Social media is not one of my favorite things. I really don’t want to know what my neighbor had for supper last night and journaling has always been reserved for my Bible and devotion time. It feels like strangers are looking at my diary, and that’s somewhat unnerving right now.

But I stopped and thought, “If I don’t do this now, when will I do it again? This time next year I will still be in the place I am today.” So, that meant that I had to re-organize my thinking…and remember that the elephant is too big to eat in one bite. It has to be consumed one bite at a time.

I started with faithfully reading Og’s Greatest Salesman. In all honesty, this book has been on my bookshelf for probably 15 years. I read it that long ago…only one time through…and thought it was an interesting little book. But it never dawned on me at the time to actually STUDY it! Oh, boy, what a treasure it is. In just a few days, it has become a highlight of my day…three times a day…and we are just in Scroll 1!

I am struggling with my DMP and Blueprint Builder. Guess it’s been a while since I have dreamed, but these are but bites on my plate. I am praying that God opens my eyes and mind to wonder and dream again…and never lose hope!
