Whether my heart whispers or it shouts ... one thing I know for sure, is that it takes time and patience to put the puzzle pieces together so they fit well.
... and I am not talking about a jigsaw puzzle but LIFE.
... and I am not talking about a jigsaw puzzle but LIFE.
There is a constant ebb and flow when learning what really works, instead of trying to do it all. The pace of life is continually changing, so I am constantly reevaluating my to do list. I am a list maker so post-it notes are my BFF.
Here is how I go about redefining the frayed edges ... I hope you find it helpful.
Some questions to get you started ... Is there one thing you are really good at? ... What stops you from doing that one thing? ... Do you know in your heart that you are meant to be doing something greater? ... Do you have a consuming passion? ... What doesn't work for you anymore? ... What do I really Value in life?
Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.Romans 8:26-28
Have a go and see if my process is helpful to you. Have Fun with all your new discoveries.
Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!Hebrews 12:1-3
Be blessed and be a blessing
