Notes do not Equal Action

I am a note maker and a list maker. I can make a list as long as my arm about the things I need to do or the things I want to do. I can make all sorts of notes about plans and plan about those plans. But. The problem is that until I take the first step there is no difference. Until I start to check off my list the list is not accomplished. Until I put the plan into action it is only thoughts on paper.

You should see the files and notebooks I have of stories and books I have started. I have the idea and put it down then another idea comes along and I chase after it. Somewhere I have to stop and make one story come alive and then the next and so on.

This is where this blog comes in. A place where everything comes together. You see, God did not call us just to watch the race and make notes about the race. He called us to join the race. He called us to run the race.

Whatever he is calling you to do, the dream you keep making notes about. Whatever you keep making lists about, it’s time to take action. Maybe it’s time to join the race.

Is All for One perfect? Certainly not. I still need to add some sparkle. But I have joined the race of writing that I believe God has called me to. This is a part of the race. A part of the journey if you will.

I will be here to encourage you as you begin your race. Maybe you have stumbled on your race. That is ok. Get up. Brush yourself off. Start running again. The race isn’t over.

After all its All for One.

Improvement is not always better

So, I was working on the site today. I was trying to tweak a few things here and there to make it more appealing and user friendly. You know easier on the eye. What happened instead? I ended up messing it all up.

Isn’t that the way it goes sometimes? We try to make things better and sometimes just make them worse. Sometimes we just need to leave well enough alone.

We have all seen the packaging “New and improved”, but is it really? It’s just rebranding. Trying to make the same thing more appealing. Its an attempt to reach a new audience.

Well, yes, I want to reach more with what I’m doing here. But I’ve only managed to create more work for myself by messing up what I’ve already done. Sometimes we just need to sit back and not worry about the mechanics as much as the content. I know I’m still learning that, what about you?

Welcome to All for One

All for One is a place where I host my writing, book reviews, Bible studies, and other interests in one place and ask you to come along. I call it All for One for two reasons. One,because it is all of my interests all rolled into one place, and two because I want everything I do to be for an audience of One.

In the pages here you will find Angela’s Bookshelf, my book reviews and news page. I enjoy reading and there may be books from all genres, from Christian and non-Christian. Times like These is my Bible Study page. I will post what I am learning from God’s word. Third Verse Devotions is where I bring to life the old hymns and meditate on what the writer might have been trying to say about his or her belief in God, the Bible and life.

I hope you will join me in these pages. I am just getting started. There is more to come.
