Oh Time, Where Art Thou?

Hey all!

Hope everyone has been doing well this past week. All I can say is I wish time would slow down a bit! I have been productive with my time lately, I just haven’t made a habit yet of the two things that are important and will remain important for the rest of my life. Find a way to exercise CONSISTENTLY (5-6 times a week) and set aside quite time or as I like to call it “dates” with God.:) Back to the drawing board to figure out my time budget. Yes, I said time budget--it's important to budget my time, because unlike money (yes, I also know I need to be a good steward with the money God has entrusted with me as well), I will never get it back. Well, as perfect timing would have it I was looking through my old journal and came across an entry that I needed to see and post somewhere I would see readily. I would love to take credit and say I came up with this list, but I didn’t and unfortunately I don’t know who did. Anyways, here it goes.

7 Steps for Re-Creating Your Circumstance:

1. Refuse to tolerate what you know isn’t from God in your life.
2.Repent of any sin that has contributed to your circumstances.
3. Reject the fatigue, stress, or fear preventing you from making needed changes.
4.Record your specific goals for what needs to change in your life and how, with God’s help and power, you are going to change them.
5. Rely on Him to replace old negative habits, with new positive ones.
6. Request God’s mercy, strength, and courage to obey as you humble yourself before Him.
7. Reap His harvests as you so seeds of your time, talent, and treasure into His Kingdom.

I hope someone else is able to find this useful and beneficial as you move forward in whatever season God has called you at this point.

Until next time...
