31 Days: Only

The last day of 31 Days and I only missed posting daily 8 times. That's pretty good considering I work full time, I am learning something new at my part-time job, and I planned a fall carnival for my church.

In going back through my posts, I only gave myself about 7 areas to work on in my life to achieve my desire for change. Only 7, she says with a tinge of irony. That does seem a little daunting but not impossible.

At times I feel like this snail, moving very slowly out of  my sadness, sometimes trying to go back to where I was instead of going forward. I try not to be too hard on myself, I can only try my best. I declare it as progress that my days aren't only bad ones, which hasn't always been the case.

As long as I remember that I only have to be who God has made me to be, the way to change seems so much easier. And if I only look to Him for direction, no matter how slow my pace is, I will get to where I should be. It will only take time.
