This morning was a bit overwhelming since I knew I wouldn’t be able to accomplish all these time sensitive projects.
I am reducing the To Do List.
I am negotiating with myself, what I need to do versus what I want to do.
But I have found that doing the top, most important tasks early in the day, reduces the chance of those tasks being interrupted.
Plan the day. Organize the day. Do the tasks that have purpose, and don’t get roped into meaningless tasks that will always be there. Yes they scream for attention and importance….but today is important and I don’t want to waste it.
Proverbs 3:5,6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, Lean not unto your understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
I have bigger dreams and aspirations that I ever have in my life. I want to fulfill God’s destiny with every day having purpose and meaning.
With that in mind, doing the most important, rather than doing what yells the loudest at me takes focus and determination.
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!

That’s a nice reminder. To start with the most important. 🙂 Aside from that, I also start with the things that needs “both hands.” As a mom, I feel I have accomplished much by just doing those. 😁 The rest can be done even when the baby is awake. 😂
