For a 22 year old female, that grew up around computers and iPhones and all kinds of gadgets I am really quite incapable of using a computer to the best of it's ability. Even this blog has been troublesome for me. This website is supposed to make it east for anyone to figure out and make a cool website, and it lives up to it's mission, I am just so severely bad at doing creative things with the computer I can hardly figure it out. According to a recent e-mail I have had Weebly for approximately 19 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 24 seconds and I still have not published my site. I get on here every few days and just stare at it. I think I am probably just trying to make it more difficult than it needs to be. I finally got this post together, and it really was not that difficult. That is probably the problem. Weebly has made it so easy to make a website, but I cannot accept that it might actually be that easy so I try to make it harder than it really is. All I have to do it drag and drop and then write something. How hard is that? It isn't. In my mind, though, it should be harder than this. I am glad I am finally figuring it out though. I love to write, but I do not write nearly enough. I am hoping that this will be a good, creative outlet that will encourage me to write more. In January one of my resolutions was to write more this year. Here we are in August and this may be the most I have written outside of school papers. That is the beauty of change though. You don't need new years eve or a birthday or some great life crisis to make a change in your life. You can make a change anytime, any day. I am choosing now in mid-August to make a change. Today is just a regular day. No holiday, nothing spectacular. That doesn't matter though. If I want to change my life today I have every right and every ability to do that. All it takes is a change of mind, heart, and giving yourself a little motivation. Hopefully, this will be the time I keep it up. And wouldn't that be a little more meaningful anyway? If I change just because I truly want to? Not because someone says I need a new years resolution or someone says I am getting older and it is time to make some changes. I am making small alterations in my daily life just for myself. Just at the calling of my Savior. Not for anyone else. And not for the new years baby. I can make changes just for myself and just for Jesus. That's another part of the beauty of change no matter how many times I say I am going to change and then I don't I am still so loved by God. I am allowed to come back to him always. No matter how many times I walk away and no matter how long it takes me to come back. This is no excuse to continue to make my own choices and leave his presence but it is so beautiful that I can. That everyone can. I was working on this post early this morning and then in worship today we sang Called Me Higher by All Sons and Daughters. It was just the song I needed in this moment. I love when God shows me His love and presence but sending just the right song or message or word from a friend just when I need it most.
