When I read this blog post, I grabbed on to this idea of "falling forward."
So much time spent falling back, looking back, stuck back there in the past which keeps me from being present in this moment with this life I have right now.
I still struggle with inability to tackle smallest of piles without largest of overwhelming feelings washing over me and I am so ready to be done with that. I have a choice in the midst where I can go with the overwhelming feeling of failure to accomplish what I want and need to or I can stand and declare that I'm falling forward into His grace and mercy that says: "I work all things together for good."
And what do I have to truly complain about? Nothing, really. Just so, so, so much to be thankful for.
This year I will keep focusing on falling forward into gratitude and thanksgiving and a life lived in the moment however messy that moment presents itself to be.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice aand holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days.....
