Ready for spring

Where I live it is the season of Winter.  The temperatures  are cold and sometimes it snows or ice and makes travel difficult.  I look forward to spring when the temperatures warm up and the grass and tress turn green again.  Flowers bloom and there is a lot of color and beauty as we begin life again.  Sometimes our lives are like this to.  We feel we are in a dark cold season and we look forward to a new season where we are blossoming and blooming and coming to life again just like the flowers.

more on consistency

These past few weeks as I have been doing little things around my house consistently I am learning how to apply them to my spiritual life.  In order to really have a strong foundation and walk with God we need to learn how to be consistent in our pursuit of God.  Learning that it is not in the amount of scriptures I read or how many hours I pray in the spirit or confess the word over my self but in the quality of the time spent doing these things.  I am seeing changes in so many areas that I have stuggled for a  long time because I am learning to let go of the idea of having to be perfect and always get it right.

Learning to Adapt

I am one who does not like change.  I like things to go smoothly and as planned in a orderly fashion.  This week I had several days where I had to rearrange my plans and adapt.  I was able to do this and stay calm and think clearly and still get done the commitments that I already had for the day.  I am learning through natural things the Lord is having me do everyday how to plan and manage my time and responsibilities better.  In doing this I am become adaptable.  I can see how to move things around adjust the amount of time I am spending on task and how to prioritize what needs to be done.

Learning To Not Over React

This week I have had some challenges.  I faced a situation that normally I would want to try to figure out.  I found myself instead thinking differently about it.  We want to think sometimes when we face challenges unexpectedly that its opposition but I found myself asking if this was a not a attack but maybe God closing a door that He did not want me to walk through.  A lot of times our first reaction is to think that the enemies is causing problems to get us off track and upset.  I took the time to not over react but to stop and pray and ask God if it was a attack or if He was closing a door.  This week I want to apply this way of thinking to other situations and begin to walk in more peace.
