Now It's Personal!!

Last evening we found out that we are about to experience at least thirty more days of social distancing or being self-quarantined. All of a sudden things have become VERY personal because we have to ask ourselves, "How am I going to make it for 30 days??"  

 Okay, here's the deal! We need a plan! If you are like me, you will be a pile of clothes on the floor by April 30th if you are not focused on accomplishing something each day. Here are some ideas for what I mean about "accomplishing."
  • Communicating with someone you keep thinking about.
  • Teaching yourself to do something new.
  • Reading a book that you you always intended to read.
  • Having designated times during the day for playing.
  • Watching certain things on t.v. and turning it off during other times.
  • Taking a walk or doing some outside exercise.
  • Gut the garage and organize all tools, sporting equipment, etc.
  • Come up with a creative idea for encouraging someone else.
As we plan our activities whether it be work or play, we will feel good that we actually completed some things by the end of the day. Whatever you do today will forever be embedded in your memory as something you accomplished during the Coronavirus of 2020.

Tomorrow I am going to give you five areas to consider as you make your plan. Grab a pen and notebook and we'll do it together!!

I know this phrase can be cliche' but it fits well here so I am going to use it!

Make it a great day!!

    Great ideas! I think connecting with people who are on your mind is a Holy Ghost assignment! We can make a difference!

    I agree, a schedule is important right now and so is getting outside each day 😊

Weeding Out The Lie

If you have read my book, The 30-Second Prayer That Changes Everything , you already know that being intentional  is key to achieving successful results. You might begin each day with something like this-- Father, I commit this day to You. Cause me to think the way You think--so that I will be in Your will and make right choices today.                                                                         Yesterday, I had a troubling thought show up on my radar. I recognized it as a reoccurring thought. In fact, it had surfaced several times over the past few months and was on the verge of become a "held-belief."  I even spoke it out loud on a couple of occasions which gave this false imagination additional fuel. This belief definitely did not bring me peace, but instead irritation, impatience...

Here's The Plan

When I was preparing myself for these days ahead, I took a pen and paper and began to brainstorm of what I wanted to accomplish during this time. I came up with five areas that I will be focusing on.  I do want to say that we each have to design our strategy to fit our lives. For example, if you are a Health Care Worker who is putting in 10-12 hour days and then come home to meet the needs of your family, you are not going to be able to do what someone else has time to do. So please, design it for what fits for you .  If you only have time for one of these areas, do the first one—because it is THE most important one. It is foundational to make everything else in your day function. The five areas are as follows: 1. Spiritually—Begin the day with God in prayer. 2. Physically—Keep yourself strong by eating the right food and the right                time. Also, get exercise and drink plenty of water.    ...

Day 6---Narrowing Our Focus

The first week of the "30 Days" is now behind us..... Let’s review some key components that will move us forward with strength and purpose. We have our foundational promise from God’s Word: Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.                               Proverbs 16:3 (AMPC) We have our prayer: Of course, feel free to use your own words and spend as long as you desire in prayer. God wants a relationship with us and all close relationships require spending time together. In Proverbs 16:3, God is calling us into partnership with Him so He can lead us through the day successfully. If you need help with forming the prayer, you could use these words: “Father, as I commit this day to You, cause me to think Your thoughts.”   We have...
