It takes time, start setting up now

The other day, God laid something on my heart:
"Things take time, start setting up now for what you want to do"

I'm 36 years old and I have said for years, God has a blueprint stuck to my heart of what my life is suppose to look like. From the largest details to the smallest details. It's time for me to start doing everything according to that "blueprint". Many of us have the same thing on the inside of us. But we rarely line up how we go about life according to the blueprint God has laid on our hearts. Rarely, do we make decisions according to that. It comes a time where God is ready to birth that life that He promised you long ago. When that time comes, you must prepare. You must take everything in your life and line it up with what's on your heart and if it doesn't line up, it's got to go! Everything has got to start to line up with what God has called you to. Now, some people hear the word "called" and they automatically think a specific ministry. I am using the word "called" in terms of your life overall. I have been called to a certain type of life, not just a ministry. God has given me a blueprint of a life that I have been called to live out. But until now, I haven't been lining things up and measuring them by that blueprint. But you have to do that, in order to get rid of the things and the people that will take precious time, energy, and resources that you need to be putting elsewhere. Many people are not happy, many Christians are not living the "abundant life" that Jesus said He came to give us. I have asked God about this for years. "What does this abundant life look like? What does it feel like?" I believe God is getting ready to answer these prayers. But there is money, time, and energy that needs to be poured into it. That means I need to spend my money on things that line up with that blueprint that God has given me, that means I need to do my work in a way that lines up with that vision. I need to deal with family and friends in a way that lines up, I need to treat my husband and kids in a way that lines up. "It takes awhile, start setting up now for what you want to do with your life"

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone. It's not my place. I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see. Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest. I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?". I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern. The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within . Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. A thou

When we are troubled................

Have you have let the challenges you face, become a distraction for you? I have! Matter-a-fact, I'm going through it now. I hate it when I do that, because when you begin to let your heart become troubled about something, it's not long before fear begins to creeps in as well. Then I feel like it gets hard to focus on the other things you need to focus on, and it's hard to enjoy the blessings that you have. There is such a ripple effect when you let challenges trouble you. It leads to distraction, then, fear, then it starts to rob you of your peace, your joy and if you let it, it can completely consume you. God tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence. There are 2 things in the bible that God tells us to guard: Our hearts and our mouths. We have to watch what we let come into our hearts and we have to watch what we allow to proceed from our mouths. Even though we don't ignore challenges, it's important we don't let them take up residence in our

The dirty truth about discipline

I got up this morning, went through the 2 hour process of getting my kids ready for school. Once they were at school I came back home and decided I was going to read my bible, reflect on some things, and write some things down in my planner. Well guess what????? A wave of drowsiness washed over me.....................I had coffee in my hand and I still got so sleepy. So sleepy that I absolutely had to allow myself to drift off into a slumber. I had scheduled a workout at my favorite workout spot, Orange Theory. But I was so sleepy that I was tempted to cancel. Thanks to Orange Theory you can't cancel, the same day, via their app. You have to call and even then you might lose your class that you paid for. They normally have a waiting list for classes. With that said I forced my butt up and into action to get to my class. I'm so thankful to Orange Theory and the way they promote accountability, especially during this special time in my life. See God has me focused
