It is funny how we make a plan, a goal, determine this is what we are going to do. And then the interruptions begin.
The phone rings…
Someone drives up to your home and knocks on the door…
Or the baby cries…
Someone needs help finding something.
OR I can’t find my planner that I wrote everything down in…
I’ve gotten smarter, I have a gameplan.
I get the planner, the writing utensils, my glasses, and I set an appointment for myself. For me it is early early morning because I can’t stay awake late.
Then I jot down reminder notes of what I want to write about, decide on, plan or make a goal regarding.
Then I go in to my 30 minutes of time with no interruptions prepared.
It takes planning.
It takes determination.
But doing this also helps me help myself. I want to accomplish a couple things this year. Ok 50 things. I want to accomplish 50 things on my list. But heaven help me it takes a plan or it won’t happen.
And I get so frustrated when the day goes by and I never have time to think, or plan or write. We are all busy working, living life, parenting and growing children or something.
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!
