FEBRUARY 2014
Yet take thy way, for sure thy way is best: stretch or contract me, thy poor debtor: this is but tuning of my breast to make the music better.—George Herbert
It is fascinating to watch God’s plans change yours. Literally overnight I got an office job—nine to five every weekday for several weeks, and afterwards part-time for the foreseeable future. I was glad I had already made great progress on my goals for January; my new work schedule means amending my protracted goals for February.
As mentioned before, I am doing resolutions a bit differently this year; I plan to make them in a number of categories each month. They are ‘New Month Resolutions,’ as it were.
Check here for my continuing progress.
