10,000 steps of faith. That's what 2011 is about at our house. It isn't about the BIG idea or the next BIG thing. It won't be what happens around the corner that will bring us joy. It is about taking 10,000 steps of faith. This article by Paul Tripp encouraged me, it might spur you on too.
So here are my little steps for this new year-most are things that I do everyday, but that's what I wanted. I want things that I can accomplish and that are valuable to me. Nothing earth shattering on my list, but I hope to keep walking towards God-towards the things of God-pointing in my little life, people-especially my kids and husband towards God. The mundane is important! May I keep my heart, mind, soul, body working with everything in me to faithfully care for my family-SO THAT THEY SEE JESUS.
But only by His grace, only by His grace.
