Big Leaps 2012


2012 I made some big leaps....
Some I was very scared to do...
Some I doubted if God was really calling me to leap....



1. Hit the publish button on the blog....

Started this blog a year ago.
I was nervous at first.
I doubted my writing ability.
I struggled with that I didn't go to college and I don't know every
greek meaning to verses.
And No I haven't memorized the whole bible.
And my life is pretty boring:)
I am glad God whispered to me confidence to keep going.
I have made a lot of mistakes, and I am still learning
BUT....
I am glad I listened to God and started writing.

2. Ran my first half last spring....

Even though I struggled with the last three miles I am glad
I past the finish line.
I am glad my husband wouldn't come and pick me up.
I am so glad I signed up for that race.
Can't wait for my next one:)
Wanna join me??

3. Commented on other's blogs....
And e-mailed some bloggers....

YIKES this was a big leap.
Commenting is hard for me, if I don't know you, I am pretty shy.
In large groups I am usually the quiet one listening.
I question my comments all the time.
I bet you didn't know that this is a huge struggle for me.
A huge leap!!
Then.....
I e-mail someone I didn't know, to ask questions....
A bigger yikes!
She was awesome and helped me out.
I am glad I have  commented on others blog's
it has helped me come out of my shell.
And I have made some amazing friends....



The TWO biggest leaps......

4.  Volunteered to be a youth leader.

 To senior girls......
GULP!!!
More on this later.

5. Have stopped carrying around my "dad's" rejection
( and the rejections of others)
and laid it at the feet of my Heavenly Father.

more on this later too....

What leaps have YOU done ???
