I will not be defeated

Well, I promised myself that I would blog more often and write in a journal almost everyday.  So much for that goal and promise.  It seems that the calendar has reminded me that it has been over 13 days since my last post and the journal tells me that I have only cracked its pages a few times more since New Year's Eve.

It seems to be so easy to get caught up in doing life, instead of purposefully living life.  I know there are many days where I arrive home at the end of the day, worn, frustrated and tired to the bone.  The last thing I want to do is pick up the pen and pad and write about my day or talk about the good or the bad parts of it.  And, after working on a computer all day long I can barely convince myself to open the laptop bag, let alone actually boot it up.

But recently I was reminded in another post that we have to find out what we stand for and make that our priority.  I want to stand for purpose driven living, making memories, leaving a godly legacy and loving my wife.  I want to stand for living a life of health, strength, love and compassion.

So, I want let myself be discouraged by a few days of writers block.  No!  I will not!  I will make time to write once a week and actually put it on my calendar.  I will continue to pray for God to give me moments to share and ways to share them.  And, I will not be defeated.  I know that I am living a life of triumph -
