Another year, another delay?
2019 is more than upon us. It's in our bloodstreams and our brain stem, filling us with hope and expectation for all we can accomplish in a brand new calendar year.
The Bible talks about our heart and our treasure being close to each other, though it's more about spirituality in that case. But it's also true of our pursuits here in this life. If our resolution is to lose ten pounds in 2019 and we're still sitting and munching fatty chips most of the day, we're probably not being very true to our goals.
If we say we want to start writing a book or finish writing that book we started and we have nothing at all to show for it by the end of January, chances are that we were either lying to the world or lying to ourselves. Perhaps, both.
The first chapter is never the hardest for me. It's the fifth chapter or the twelfth chapter. I just put a prompt where I'll see it in a couple of months. I plan to see then how my heart and my treasure (and my writing) line up at that point.
