If I am close to finishing something, I'm already starting the next project in my head. Always reaching for that next goal is the challenge for me. My desire is to finish all the projects I've started. :o)<br /><br />Peace and Laughter!jugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131907587674600113.post-69115005418062375392012-07-18T15:16:36.410+10:002012-07-18T15:16:36.410+10:00Hi Dale,

If anyone had told us thirty or forty years ago we would ever live near the beach I would have laughed.Then about five years before my husband retired it sprang up and grew and grew. Every day we praise God for where we are.<br />We're not in a beachside mansion but we are where God has called us to be and the beach is ten minutes away.

The fact that God in...This is a great post, Paula. The fact that God intended for us to have desires is something I have to keep reminding myself. I lost sight of my desires for a long time. I think I actually believed that I wasn't allowed to have any. When I was struggling with a difficult issue a couple of years ago, I was completely thrown by a simple question: "What do you want?"<br /><br />I am striving to follow the desires that God has placed in my heart now ... and you're so right, even though it might sound dull to someone else, the thought of writing and editing to me is as thrilling as sky-diving! The other thing I'd love is to have a house for me and my girls on an acre or two - with the sole purpose of having some space to breathe :)<br /><br />Good on you Paula for following your heart's desire!Helen Wakefieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17535593906695027046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131907587674600113.post-63750141608687935952012-07-16T16:12:56.191+10:002012-07-16T16:12:56.191+10:00Ahhh, living the dream, totally!
