Daring Greatly in 2010

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly,...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." Teddy Roosevelt

I want to be found, at the end of all things ...

...to have lived a life of passion

...to have lived a life of purpose

...to have lived a life of purity

...to have lived

I'm still moving in that direction. Moving towards what I will bring to 2010 and reversing the idea that life is brought to me. Thank you, God, for my life...for the purposes you've ordained, and for those who share the journey with me. May I be pleasing in your sight.

"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly." Romans 12:9-16

Happy New Year - 2010. Many blessings and much passion, Favored One.
