I have so many things I need to work on or improve in my life right now. Thanks for your blog, it has given me alot to think about. I hope your Christmas was wonderful. Congratulations on the birth of your grandchild and may the New Year bring you and Robert happiness and fulfillment. By the way, I LOVED his new program Everyday Life!mary alvarezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546326410551272689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558023412158904930.post-10719585257586875272010-01-10T19:41:09.275-08:002010-01-10T19:41:09.275-08:00Good thoughts.

For me, I'm discovering that pressing toward my goal takes effort and discomfort at times. But that's where happiness ultimately lies. I'm awed by that simple statement by Paul and the wisdom in it. I have to stay conscious of my goals and "press" into them or they won't happen".<br /> ...............<br />Great to find you here "rakrause" and I too am awed by those words of Paul. I too must stay the course that I feel He wants me to follow.<br /><br />I had a bit of a break and prayer time to get my plans for 2010 together and it feels good to be here and find you and others like Cyrasdill, Barbie and Ria etc etc. Can't list all and hope that Donna's followers grow in number.<br /><br />I see Donna has a place to invite people I did not see before and I have asked friends not to just be a member of Blogger but join as a follower. I think I have that right. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the positive growth of the Donna followers in 2010!<br /><br />Blessing across the world, everyone!<br /><br />Jan-MichaelJan-Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813149854030293572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558023412158904930.post-26281336513425490092010-01-09T11:33:23.009-08:002010-01-09T11:33:23.009-08:00Donna, I never compare with others.

Remember not to compare yourself with others and to start by praying and asking God what He wants from you. Sometimes our purpose gets confused with what others expect from us, by the messages we think we hear based on our past experiences. I have found a great tool from a Christian psychologist/psychiatrist who lives right here in OC. His name is Dr. Daniel Amen and he is a brain specialist. In one of his books called "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life" he gives a great teaching on goal setting which he calls "the one page miracle." You can google that phrase and a printable worksheet will come up. If you are having difficulties coming up with goals I encourage you to do so. Large or small, goals are important.<br />I will be doing a video blog on the next part of Robert's book in the next couple of days. <br />Again, Happy New Year!<br />God is blessing you, DonnaSchullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492785568194446403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558023412158904930.post-44856318321683858122010-01-07T09:01:31.213-08:002010-01-07T09:01:31.213-08:00Hi Everyone: Like Ria I have a few things that sc...Hi Everyone: Like Ria I have a few things that scare me a bit. But I do know you just have to tell yourself that your faith in the Lord is strong and look back and see where he came through for you every time. Maybe not right away but as I go through my journal. I said see look at that you just have to be patient. And a couple of times it all happen in away I did not except. But it was what I had prayed for. I now look to the new year and know there will be ups and downs but that is life and it keeps us close to the Lord. May all of you keep strong faith through this year. And God Bless You All.<br />Cysradillcysradillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16739728993564520505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558023412158904930.post-20942117512511094642010-01-06T09:12:46.627-08:002010-01-06T09:12:46.627-08:00Hi Barbie: I am so happy for you both with your n...Hi Barbie: I am so happy for you both with your new dog. I can feel the love you are giving her. And I believe the love between you and Len and the dog will be a healing gift for all. When God choose a family for a special needs dog. Is like when he choose a family for a special child. He has his plan and his reason.

This is what has happened. Next to me as, I type this out, is our very intelligent new dog. We got her yesterday afternoon she<br />is a Corgi cross. She has some<br />health problems including a slight problem with her heart<br />She is reacting to our love for<br /> her already. I know that God is<br />going to give Len and I the<br />knowledge etc so that these<br />problems that she has will be<br />cured.

Looks great! Great thoughts. I also used The Path to help me write my mission statement. But, in truth, it took almost a couple years to complete it...once I had a better sense of who I was.

Actually, my name Jan is Dutch for John and Jean is French for John. I now use Jan-Michael, combining my given names as there are so many females who use Jan for Janet, Janice. etc and my wife had so many Jan's as friends I chose to go with Jan-Michael which I always preferred anyway. Thank you for posting that you saw the error, I appreciate it and it gives me a chance to say how your kind spirit in the post of a correction is further evidence of just how caring you are and we all know and will not bother over a typo or quickly typed post with an error.<br /><br />I did find a need that required a BOLD approach and it will make an IMPACT though not in a publicly recognized way. It will take a while and I cannot explain further at this time but it was amazing that the need just was there all along and I have sent a fax off to the parties that will be needed to make a change that will help a lot of families eventually. Just wanted to post that part and it could impeed the success if I put more detail at this time.<br /><br />With HIS LOVE and my prayers for you and yours<br />Jan-MichaelJan-Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813149854030293572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558023412158904930.post-62226826727897085462010-01-03T21:23:13.010-08:002010-01-03T21:23:13.010-08:00Sorry for the mis-spelling Jan-Michael!! :DSorry for the mis-spelling Jan-Michael!! :DSchullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492785568194446403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558023412158904930.post-47262057951897825982010-01-03T17:22:56.869-08:002010-01-03T17:22:56.869-08:00Thank you Donna!

Thanks for your ...Hi To Jean-Michael and Rosemarie!<br />Thanks for your latest comments. To "annonymous" I am sorry but I don't know what happened to your nice comment. I approved it but now I noticed that it is not listed here. Please comment again and join our weekly blog church! I really appreciate our discussions here. J.M. you are right that we should have both short term and long term goals. That is important otherwise I know I can get so discouraged when things aren't progressing the way I think they should! Short term assures the long term. I am glad that I gave you some food for thought.<br />R.M for sure it is never too late to start over!<br />We can all get closer to becoming the person we want to be by praying and then doing the work necessary to reach our goals/dreams. It is not for us to know how things will turn out but it is important for us to try to get there. My husband used to talk about "Think 100" with the idea that if we think we are going to live to be 100 (it could now be called "Think 120!") how much more could we accomplish with our lives. Too many people just quit living. Not us...right?! Happy New Year!

Goeals I set as well during the year. I always want to achieve to be a better person. In the past I had the habit to get in rage quickly and haveing no pacience. Years past by and I realized with this I can't live anymore. It came all fom my childhoud, never being accepted from my parencts for whom I am. I can forgive them, but not at all easy. Because I saw it on our recent holidays, I made the kitchen and the chores. Nothing I did right in the eyes of my mum, even she was happy to have a fulltime help. - I'm not holding to the past! - When we feel shame we must have done something wrong. It's better we think about the thing that we do not repeat it. - We always should lean into God, no matter in witch circumstances we are, good or bead. Donna it's never to late to start something new when the past diden't brought us to the place we want to be. To connect people in the love of Christ and bring them this kind of way together is not an easy action. I know so many people they do not want to hear of the Bible and Church services. They know how I came closer to God, accept it that's all. - I hope I answered to all of your points in your wonderful entry. - New Year's Blessings RoseSwiss Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01715278699185822467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558023412158904930.post-49911123557406727542010-01-02T16:53:08.742-08:002010-01-02T16:53:08.742-08:00I have always looked at my life goals in at least ...I have always looked at my life goals in at least three parts; 1)Now 2) A short to medium-time range goal and 3) A long range overall goal.<br /><br />Perhaps, I have not put this in perspective of a Life Goal and I think I should do that rather than assuming my present short and long term goals will have accomplished what I think my Life Mission can or should be.<br /><br />You have given me a good task, Donna! I know I answered another blogsite suggesting Big and Important objectives for 2010 and I decided I would make 2010 a time for Bold and Impact making endeavours; this on the basis that while I feel I have done some important things over my life so far, I have played it a bit safe...too safe and I am at a stage where I think HE has prepared me to do some things boldly that will make an Impact. I don't know what or exactly how but I know it is facing me as it always is for us all I think. I will be more open and I do not think it is something buried. I just will see what is no doubt staring me in the face and I will then take the proverbial Leap of Faith! It is never too late when the objective is good as is this task you have suggested, Donna!<br /><br />Great Blog to nudge me forward well! <br /><br />Happy New Year to all!<br /><br />Jan-MichaelJan-Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813149854030293572noreply@blogger.com
