On Friday’s I like to participate in a “free writing” activity.  It is called Five Minute Friday and a bunch of us write for five minutes with no editing (I spell check–otherwise it would not be readable:-)  Come join some other bloggers to see what they are writing about

Cherished

My word for 2013 is Intention.  I am going to strive to make each thing I do come alive with purpose and intention.  This is a project that was born not on 1/1/13 but rather back in Novermber when I did an accidental 31-days series on “being honest.”

As I wrote and poured my heart out, I realized that I cherished all of the wrong things.  I spent a lifetime collecting things and when I didn’t feel cherished I ate my way to a place that made me feel better.

I realized that I hadn’t let myself feel cherished.  I hadn’t let myself be loved.  Just because I’m me–I had to prove my worth to be cherished.  But that is a lie–I’m loved.  It starts with God and then the true friends that he has put in my life . . . . I’ve missed it.  I was confused.

The most important things we cherish can’t be collected, broken or  . . .

The most important things are the blessings from God.  To be blessed and to be a blessing.

STOP

Thanks you Lisa-Jo.
