Starting something new

A man's heart makes his plans but God directs his steps.   Proverbs 16:9

 Are you having trouble sticking to a goal?  The best way to (not) do something is talking about it.  When starting something new~ don't tell anyone.    

Picture this

Every summer for as long as I can remember I have organized my photographs, putting them in photo albums or decorative boxes.  On the backs of each picture I write a date and the person, place or thing.  This became important to me because when I was a small girl I remember my mother and her sisters looking through my grandmother's photographs and wondering "who these people were" or "I wonder what year this was taken"  Well, its summer and it's time again to get those photographs put in a photo album or decorative box.  Whilst  ( I like saying that word) I was thinking on  these things,  I had a thought.  Something has changed that has made it easier to procrastinate doing that and it is the digital camera.  I know a second after the picture is taken if it turned out or not and I can view them on the screen so need to hurry to get them developed.  You see, not so long ago we didn't have digital cameras and we had to actually take the film into our favorite photo center to get them developed.  I loved the anticipation of waiting for the pictures and wondering how they would turn out.  It encouraged me to get them developed sooner.  Now the pix stay in my camera for mooooooonths!  Am I the only one who has this problem?  So my goal this summer is to work on getting all my pictures developed so that I can write on the backs of them and put them in those pretty decorative boxes.  I recently developed pictures of family (in-laws from Oregon and Aunt and Uncle from Texas) that came for a visit..  I received so much joy looking though all the pictures and the memories that were made.  With the help of pictures these memories can be for a life time.  It's the simple things in life that can bring so much joy.  God is so good.
