When I was deep-cleaning the Christmas tree corner, I unearthed a forgotten journal. Its soft leather cover is engraved with “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord.
“I was using that for something special,” I thought. “Now what was it?”
Page 1, dated 1/12/16: “This is my journal for my 2016 ‘one-word’ — FINISH IT,” The last entry, just a few pages later, is dated 2/21/16.
10 months later, here I am, Lord–the journal forgotten. Unfinished. I too am unfinished. But not forgotten. And for that, I remember to be thankful.
Interesting. I have a partially-built aeroplane (currently residing, disassembled, in the master bedroom). It was sold years ago, but the buyer never picked it up. So I suppose it’s mine again.
I had tried to forget about it; hadn’t wanted to sell the project, but circumstances forced my hand.
And now, sold and abandoned and forgotten, it’s coming to life again.
There is a lesson there, somewhere.
Yes, the master bedroom. I have a very understanding wife.
Wouldn’t it be more practical to build and airplane WITH a bedroom than IN a bedroom?
