Welcome to Life In My Sweet Spot...I sure appreciate your stopping by & hope you'll like what you find here. I'm not sure where this will take me but I hope you'll come along for the ride. It's likely to be a bumpy one seeing as how this whole blog thing is completely new and foreign to me. But I think I'm a pretty quick study and can hopefully make some sense of it all before too long! No doubt you'll see the site evolve as I learn new tools and apply them to this site. My intention with the blog is just to share whatever is on my heart and mind for the day. Some days I feel dumb as dirt - so the blog will probably reflect that and you'll probably wonder why in the world you're reading! But I hope you'll find enough days that offer you some insight, info, hope, encouragement, tips, ideas, etc. that will keep you coming back - and keep me encouraged. I'd also like to end each post with a question, so please offer your feedback. These will no doubt lead to future posts and topics with the hope that we can all learn from each other.
Let me start by giving some explanation for my blog title. I have recently been going through some obstacles in my life and have come to the realization that through every adversity, God provides opportunity. He recently reminded me of a book I had read a couple of years ago - Max Lucado's Cure for the Common Life: Living in Your Sweet Spot.
It's a great guide for realizing the talents,interests, and passions God has given us and using and applying them in a way so that we can make Him known. I remembered the book having a powerful statement but didn't feel that it applied to my life at the time I first read it. Isn't it funny how God speaks to us to remind us of things we've seen or read or heard before at a time when they ARE applicable to our lives?! This book came to mind again only last week & I realized God was telling me I needed to give it another read. So I am. And I'm realizing why God brought it back to mind. Being reminded that He has a purpose for my life is exactly what I needed to hear right now!! Learning to find that purpose and learning to live in that comfortable place will create a "sweet spot" in my life that I'm trusting will make me a better and happier mother, daughter, and friend. Loving my life (not just living it) is what God wants for me, and when I'm living life in the sweet spot He has created for me, I know I just can't go wrong!
So look out Sweet Spot...here I come!!!
Question for the day: Have you found your Sweet Spot? Or do you know someone who has? How can you tell?
