How should I know?

Daily writing prompt
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

What a silly question to ask me? Six months is a long ways from here, so I really can’t tell you what challenges I’ll be facing, as I don’t fully know what they are yet!

Until such a time as I actually have a challenge worthy of bringing up to everyone, you’ll just have to make do with my stories, antics, ditties, and pity party shout outs… sorry. Don’t take my response as one of sarcasm, or even one that takes challenges lightly. If you know anything about my story, you know that I’ve had my share of challenges over the last several years. By no means do I think this prompt is a bad one, but it’s just not one I wish to dwell on.

I can imagine that there will be a large number of responses to the prompt, regarding other’s upcoming challenges, some good, and some quite difficult. For all of you, my heart goes out to you, as well as my prayers and well wishes for success in these challenges. I pray that you’ll be a go getter, tenacious, and dedicated. If I’m not going to share my challenges, the least I can do is support you in all of yours, right?!

Actually, if I had to come up with an answer for this prompt, I could talk about baking. Every morning I make you virtual cookies, and since they were a bit of a chore to create without adding in any calories, we can use that task as one of the challenges I’m facing.

If you think about it, I suppose that virtual cookie baking will still be one of my bigger challenges six months from now. That is, unless they come out with those food replicators that Star Trek always had. A girl can dream, can’t she?

Enjoy these challenging virtual cookies…

KISS Challenge…

Keep it simple stupid 👌

What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

Seeing as how I never know what challenges I’ll face from one day to the next, it seems ludicrous to attemp at choosing a random difficult task or situation six months out!

Why on earth would I intentionally set myself up for six months of panic attacks, sleepless nights, and/or constant stress stomach aches?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not being a chicken about things… I just like to live one day at a time, that’s all!  I love using the KISS principle… Keep it Simple Stupid, in regards to my life.  When you look it up on Google, it basically says that keeping things as simple as possible ensures the best levels of user acceptance and interaction. This method just makes sense!

Now, I certainly have goals and plans, both short term and long term… but I don’t consider them challenges for myself, as God goes before me and prepares the way with His plans and purposes for my good. 

It says in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, ” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.”

Why would something six months from now be a challenge for me if God has already taken care of it?

Here, have a muffin…
