Someday...





Someday I want to buy a little run down house in the woods, fix it up, and bring it alive again.

Someday I want to fly around the world and minister to people in need.

Someday I want to be a published, best selling author.

Someday I want to run my own business.

Someday I want to start scrap-booking.

Someday I want to make and sell scarves and aprons.

Someday I want to stop eating junk food and get healthy.

Someday I want to bake a lot more often

Someday I want to be a mother and wife.

Someday I want to adopt.

Someday I want to have a blog with hundreds of followers.

Someday I want to change the world.

But...

Today I can work on helping keep my house clean for my family and I.

Today I can talk to and encourage the people around me; maybe even just listening and being a friend

Today I can work on my writing, and keep pushing forward

Today I can check out books from the library about starting a business, and maybe work at a small business.

Today I can dig through old piles of paper, grab my scissor, and make a scrapbook page

Today I can work on learning how to sew, and improving my crocheting

Today I can say no to that second piece of cake, and take my dog for a walk instead

Today I can open up my cookbooks, pick a recipe, and make it

Today I can work on improving and learning all I can about skills I will need as a mother and wife

Today I can pray for, support, and learn about adoption

Today I can keep writing, keep improving, and keep working on my blog

Today I can do the little things.  Because in the in the end, it will be the little things that do change the world.

    1. Thank you Lauren! Yes, every big thing is simply a combination of a lot of little things. It is such a blessing that God can use weak, flawed people like us for His marvelous work! =D
