Do it Right!
Hi Girls! Last night I wrote out my 5 things I was going to do today to help me get closer to my goals. One of those things was to do my daily blog. I planned to get up early enough to do my message and workout before going to HomeMakers. Well, I woke up and looked over at the clock and it was 6:55. Yikes! I had my alarm set for 6:18. My first thought was "are you kidding me, it's only day 2, and I'm already getting derailed!". I couldn't believe it. I hopped up and turned on the coffee pot. I figured I didn't have time to get everything in, so I had to make some decisions. I asked myself, which of my 2 early morning goals do I take care of right now? I asked the Lord to help me, and I thought through both scenarios. I knew that if I headed to HomeMakers, and hadn't worked out, I would obsess about it all morning. It could very possibly throw me off for the whole day. So, I grabbed my tennis shoes and headed downstairs. As I worked out, I prayed for God to redeem my time, and somehow allow me to still get my blog done. I had already studied the night before, and knew what I was going to talk about. Even though I was prepared, I knew it would still take me about 20-30 minutes to do. I finished getting ready, and I had about 15 minutes left over. I was so excited, I ran downstairs and went to my blog. I knew I didn't have time to do my original message, but I had thought of another one while getting ready. I had a verse in mind, but I couldn't find it. I was searching, thinking "you've got to me kidding me". I couldn't find it. I stopped for a minute and said "Lord, help me find this verse." I sat there, in silence, and I felt the Lord say, "if it's important enough to do, do it right." It was a good lesson for me to hear early on in the game. I have a tendency to get worked up if I have a lot of things to do. I tend to rush through them, and take shortcuts in order to be able to cross them off my list. We are warned about shortcuts in Proverbs 21:5 Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.
