Normally, I am not a goal person. I keep a journal and everything is pretty free flowing so I can be as creative as can be. I learned very quickly that if I set a lot of goals I get overwhelmed. Tangible projects are fine but undefined goals are not.
I’ve also learned to ask the Lord for my word for the year. Last year the word was healing. That word really proved true. I have spent most of this year healing. I’ve had several things go so wrong (like falling down the stairs) that keeping a schedule would have been impossible. So, I had to give up writing Annie’s Talking Crochet Update. If I can’t give my best I move on. The Lord knew that so he gave me the word healing so I would know to move on.
I doubted when I felt it was time to quit writing the update but looking back I am so thankful that I listened to that tug on my heart. I needed this year to heal. I really loved writing and connecting with so many of you. I miss each and everyone of you.
I now write for another company that helped pay for the medical issues and have more flexibility. I am finally healing and hoping for more opportunities.
I’m not sure what my word or verse is for this year is yet. Right now it feels like the word is colorful. I’m really hoping that truly is my word and am excited to see what scripture goes with that word.
Colorful opens so many doors! I love colorful! I pray 2021 is a fun journey that leads to lots of colors. (As long as they aren’t bruises!)
On the learning side, I am taking a year long writing class that I am hoping will help me grow as a writer. I try to take one new class or workshop a year. If you aren’t learning you are dying. I’d love to hear what you are planning for 2021! Please leave a comment or shoot me an email!
Best blessings,
Brenda
