So I just completed my first day of this journey of being obedient.
I must admit it was hard today. With all the things I knew I had to do on top of running my businesses and non-profits. I was a bit overwhelmed. The temptation was strong today. Distractions pulled for my attention and many times I found myself having to close my eyes and say, "Focus Linda." But I made it.
I started my day off with prayer. I prayed for guidance and enlightenment. Now this is not a normal morning prayer for me, but as I am on this journey I want to be able to see things I would not normally see, as it pertains to my obedience to God. After prayer, I did my daily Bible reading. I decided as a Church body that the members of New Life would read through the Bible together. I had fallen off a bit, but I am catching up now. So I read about 12 chapters today.
Again it was hard not to go into study mode. But I pressed my way. One thing I do know is that I love reading the Bible. It relaxes me. After reading my Bible, I did a some journaling so I could reflect on my current situation. there are some things that have gone astray and gotten off track. So, I let myself ponder on what I did wrong and how I can avoid getting to this place the next time.
God spoke to me today about finishing what I start. See my current situation is the way it is because I will start things but I get distracted and sometimes I don't finish or I take longer than needed to get it done. I now know that God wants me to get focus on the things that I am supposed to be doing and not let anything, even my own selfish desire hinder me.
This obedience journey is going to be hard than I thought. You see I thought, "I did this before, soI know what to expect. However, God had other plans and this journey is already turning out to be a totally different journey than the last time I did this. Then again, I am in a new place, a different mindset and I have matured just a bit in Christ and in the natural.
So I surrender to God and all that he has for me during this journey. I will obey!
Are you taking this journey with me? tell me about your journey. I would love to hear from you.
You are Bound No More.
