You get all geared up for something exciting....you make plans, you get things in order, and then, BAM~ real life steps in and it all goes kablooey (that is an actual word, thanks to Saturday morning cartoons from the 1970's).
I don't know why I am surprised when that happens. I mean, some folks say, "When we plan, God laughs." I don't know if he actually laughs, but I do know, that if our plans aren't synced with His, all of the planning and energy that went into whatever event that was on the horizon, is wasted. I was sort of hoping that wouldn't happen this year. I hoped that if I claimed my 'word' DISCIPLINE, that everything would fall into place. But, I wouldn't be human if that were the case.
Discipline, takes, well, discipline to make new habits, lose old ones, and stay focused on the goals.
I am trying to be disciplined in being disciplined. But, I've actually been spinning in the mud.
Probably because I haven't given it all to the One who wants to show me His plans for my life.
So, what have I learned?
I can't do anything on my own. But, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! (Philippians 4:13)
God is on my side and wants the best for me. (Romans 8:31)
Simple....
Here's to a more successful February!
