It is so easy to always just think about what you should do, even maybe plan it- but just acting is sometimes so hard but really is the only way. Great post!

We can think, we can talk we can dream, but nothing will happen unless we act. And we don't have to do it all at once! Start somewhere and keep going.

I didn't pick a word for 2013 - but have enjoyed reading about others' words.<br />Act is a great one - so often I spend a lot of time "thinking" when I could really be "acting" more. Thoughts are wonderful, but they can become great when we put them into action. Thank you for reminding me of this today. :) Kim@Co-Pilot Momhttp://www.copilotmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-72777745392715505982013-09-04T14:23:58.849-04:002013-09-04T14:23:58.849-04:00This was very thought-provoking and inspiring.

I love your word choice - act - because it covers so much, but just one thing at a time. Mine is "engage," and to me, that's meant to be fully engaged in anything I write, read, conversations, games, activities, or rest. One.thing.at.a.time.<br /><br />Your word is difficult in ways, because you might feel badly for action you *didn't* take. I'd challenge you this: At night, think of one way you acted, the result, what you learned from it, and how you can be aware to act again when you have that chance.<br /><br />Also think of one - just one - instance in which you didn't act. What kept you from it? How would you act, given the second chance? Learn from that, and don't dwell on it.<br /><br />By doing those things ... you're acting, too.Eli@coachdaddyhttp://coachdaddyblog.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/guest-post-fetch-summer-of-a-work-at-home-dad-by-sharon-from-mommy-verbs/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-52883236401835644712013-09-04T11:58:49.443-04:002013-09-04T11:58:49.443-04:00Love this, Tracie!
I always wonder what happened ...Love this, Tracie!<br /><br />I always wonder what happened to the other 9 in the story of the 10 lepers. Jesus healed all 10. 1 came back and said thank you and Jesus told him that his faith had made him well. But the other 9 were healed too, yes? Perhaps there are more important things than being healed from our diseases. All 10 were physically healed. 1 of the 10 received spiritual and emotional healing because he acted on his faith. You think?<br /><br />And then there is the other tidbit of truth that I glean from this story. True faith must include gratitude. Because when the man expressed thankfulness ... Jesus commended his faith, not his heart, not his grateful spirit, not his polite nature, his faith! I suspect that it is not possible to be a person of active faith without also being a person with a thankful heart!<br /><br />Haven't written a blog post today ... maybe I should copy this comment and post it!

I know I have faith, but I don't use it often enough. He has given me enough chances to use it, but I am disobedient. Thankfully, He is patient and graceful and continues to give me another chance.JanetGoingCrazyhttp://goingcrazywannago.comnoreply@blogger.com
