Captain’s Log, Stardate 01.09.2006
From Audra’s blog:
QOTD from Women @ Home for 12/31/05: If you could enter 2006 with the knowledge that you would NOT fail at something, what would that something be? Please do not include marriage, parenting, or religion here -- this is about your personal goals. We're talking that BIG Something in your heart and mind...And with that one thing, what in "real life" holds you back to begin with?
Discipline. I don’t have it in many aspects of my life, including my health and my writing. It’s actually my uber-challenge for 2006, so hopefully I’ll be able to learn more discipline this year. I’m also taking Margie Lawson’s Defeating Self-Defeating Behaviors online class. She gives some very good tips, and hopefully they’ll help me be better about my discipline.
QOTD from W @ H for 1/3/06: Do you know your Spiritual Gift(s)? Wouldn't it be great if, in 2006, we not only know who we are, but act accordingly?
Mine is exhortation—meaning, I like talking. :) Seems to work with the high school kids at church youth group.
This week's Swondering from W @ H is to finish this sentence: I want to be remembered for....
Always trying to follow Christ, even if I don’t always succeed.

My spiritual gifts, as I've been told whether I like it or not, are teaching and exhortation. (I want healing and mercy, so, is anyone up there listening?) :) So, we got that in common, toots. Is that why we blog, mebbe?
And I am hideous with discipline healthwise and writing-wise. So, see, you're my long, missing, younger, cuter twin. :D

or...on selfish days...
winning the Nobel Prize in LIterature and selling as many copies of my novels as J.K. Rowling has of hers...
Mir--not always Nobel..er..noble
I enjoyed your answers. :) I'll be posting more questions from time to time. I usually choose the ones that spark a response in my head. :)
