Go and Do

Lately I've been thinking about how I want to be better 

I want to be more respectful to my husband, I want to show him love when I don't feel like it, I want to be a better friend, I want to be more patient, I want to show more self-control, I want to be totally faithful to the Lord, I want to be in the Word way more than I am, I want be a better steward of my time...
and the list goes on 
There's so much that I want to improve about myself, so many things that I want to change
And sometimes it easier to just sit and think about how I want to be better then to actually actively do something about it

But today I'm deciding to stop wanting and to start DOING

So thankful for second chances from such a gracious Lord 
and for a husband who loves me faithfully through all of my imperfections

    I can totally relate to this. In fact, I think I feel this way every day. But you are right -- I need to stop thinking about wanting to change and just go and do :) Great post, girl.

    thank you for the inspiring post. I feel the same way all the time. I think the most important thing is that we keep trying, and keep wanting to do better. Thanks for sharing!!

    I totally agree! I have started writing down what I hope to change and then taking the steps to do it! One of my "things" is being more patient!

    hmmm.
    this is so good.
    just today i was telling myself [in a whole new light/revelation] "don't let the flesh take over...don't let the flesh take over".... believe me, that's a feat. and most of the time i fail. but holy cow, i actually refrained from opening my mouth to make a situation worse! hah! praise be to God.

    oh, and the stop wanting and start doing? um, yeah. i'm feeling that. asking for courage to live more bravely.

    p.s. super cute about us page:) i enjoyed reading it--and relating to a ton of stuff on your list.
