~ Moments ~
You know how some people always come up with a theme for their year? Or they set all sorts of resolutions and pick a single word to describe them? Just something to sum up what they dream for the year or what they want to notice? Well, while I don't like the idea of setting resolutions and the mass amount of guilt that arrives with each new year as you realize you failed, I have decided to pick one word to be the theme of my 2014.
Moments.
A very brief period of time.
An exact point in time.
An appropriate time for doing something.
An opportunity.
I want to grab hold of the moments that I so often let slip by me. I want to take advantage of every opportunity, no matter how small. I want to appreciate the big things and the little things that each moment brings. I want to serve and love and sacrifice and work and appreciate more in and through the moments of 2014.
I know that it won't be the easiest thing. Especially since I am one who tends to slip into memories or dreams about things to come rather than just focusing on the moments right in front of me. I know that there will be times when I forget to simply sit and be still in the moment. I know there will be times when I don't want to face the moment or the task or the sacrifice asked of me in a certain moment.
But I am at least going to try. I am going to try and live in the moment. To pay attention and notice the moments. To notice the moments when My Love just needs me to sit and listen. To notice the moments when a student just needs a hug. To notice the moments when a customer needs a kind word and a little extra patience. To notice the moments when my family needs me to step up or step back. To notice the moments when the Spirit is speaking to me. To notice the moments when GOD is at work in the big and the little.
