Making plans for each day usually starts like this. I write in a positive word, scripture or quote at the top of my page. I want to see it first and give my thoughts a positive push in the right direction.
Then I jot down my to do list.
At the bottom of the page I write important things I can’t forget, but could be done the next day.
At the front of my month’s calendar I usually have a list of things I need to accomplish for the month.
This month that includes cleaning out a large linen closet and bathroom. While my husband and I were away visiting our son and his wife, that were having twins we got a call that our pipes had burst (from the freezing cold) and water was actively flowing. A wonderful friend of ours happened to be dropping things off at our house and heard the running water.
So he and another friend, stopped the leak and temporarily stopped water from flowing. It was in our linen closet and bathroom. So that has to be completely cleaned out and restored. Many things were ruined. But it is on my bigger monthly to do list.
But in the end, after we heard the news that our house was flooding, I remember looking at my husband saying we just got to see our twin newborn grandsons be born. I was grateful to be there, to see it and to enjoy those first precious moments.
Disasters come and go!
Do not fear I’m with you, don’t be dismayed or depressed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you when you get overwhelmed. Isaiah 41:10
I am a wife, mother, grandmother and a Christ Follower 100%. Being brought up in an incredible home with parents who loved God, and a father who memorized thousands of scriptures (photographic memory!) I was taught at an early age to know and love the Bible. Growing up I learned at a young age how to hear God's voice, memorize scriptures, mark my Bible (now Bible journaling) and to have a strong walk with Jesus Christ.
I have a passion to see women empowered and strengthened, with an unshakeable faith and walk with Jesus Christ. Creating a simple system (Good Words + Good Plans + Good days) to use in a Bible journal, planner or notebook, I believe we start our days first Seeking First our Savior. While making the necessary daily plans write a scripture promise, good word, motivational words at the top of your to do list. Proverbs 4:20-22 says the Word of God will lead, guide and help you. I think that it is imperative to keep that before our eyes rather than letting our To Do list dictate to us what our lives will be that day. Fulfilling God's destiny and raising incredible kids about sums up my hopes and dreams for this life!
Teaching and knowing the Word of God is something I love and live to do. I too now see the power of the Word of God bring healing, restoration and completeness to peoples lives. He and my mother instilled a strong faith and desire in me to know the word of God and use it as an anchor for my every day life. It is very exciting to now teach those same principles in the next generations of our family!
