It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.

This year my resolutions aren’t traditional. They are “permissions” that I want to keep before me as the new year begins and as the weeks and months start rolling by:
let myself feel -even the things I’d rather not
let myself risk -and face all of the fear that would try to stifle me
let myself stumble -because that means I’m in motion
let myself celebrate -all the tiny victories the make the mundane miraculous.
Is there anything you want to let yourself do this year?

I am eager to step out in HOPE. I have, I think been stuck in a big fat rut for a while. God has been showing me some mirrors lately and I am nervous and scared but I think it will be good. So yeah…I am eager.
This is awesome, Amy! Here in Bolivia as you step into a house not your own you say “permiso”. It is like you are requesting permission to enter as your foot crosses the threshold. The reciever says “just keep on going”.
Your permissions are inspired.
mmm, love this idea! here’s one that’s been going through my mind the last couple of days: let myself say no so that I can say YES to whatever He has.
Indefinitely…….really?
i love this… the whole idea of giving yourself permission. i need to do that more often.
Kristi… I want to hear more about your journey with the mirrors… love you!!
@ngie- I loved this… “permiso”… keep on going! Thanks for sharing that insight!!
Katy- I’m adding this to my list… for sure!!!
Tracy- only God knows, literally!
Kitty- you’re on a journey of permissions too… permission to trust even though history tells you you shouldn’t. I’m proud of you.
