What got me started.
God seems to be sending me hints lately about time management.
Not being one who is very disciplined in time management I have known that I need to do better
with my time. When I took a look at how I spend my time, vs the stress in my life of all the
things that need to be done, I realized it was my lack of discipline with my time that was the issue
more than it was the things that had to be done.
Not only that but how much time I put into playing games, or watching tv and less time in prayer, or
reading God's Word.
God is trying to get my attention, He wants to spend more time with me! Much like I would like
to spend time w/ my kids when they lived at home were busy texting or online.
I have noticed that since my youngest daughter has not had her phone, we spend more time talking together, and what a joy it has been to just spend time with her.
If I get that much joy from having her attention and conversing with her, how much more would God love to spend that kind of time with me?
Seems He uses the kids often to teach me about my relationship with Him.
So, I have decided that for the month of December I will spend less time on the internet, no tv, and no facebook games.
Yesterday was rough, as I am used to having meals w/ the family watching our favorite tv shows.
Time to have family at the dinner table again :)
Then, it's our thing to watch tv the hour before bed, and to fall asleep watching tv.
No tv last night, in bed by 10pm and asleep before 11pm. We said our prayers together instead of tv.
It was great, and I slept so good that I was able to get up at 6am. I admit, I tried to go back to bed but then I remembered that I was going to start myself on a new schedule and that included getting up to spend time with Rick and Meagan before they head off to work/ school.
So, a quick goodbye w/ Rick, and breakfast with Meagan before she caught the bus, was a great start.
Then off to spend time with the Lord. I'm doing a bible study, and it's been a great start today.
I'm journaling this on my blog so I can look back and see how much this will improve my life :)
Praise report from yesterday- My mom no longer has Congestive Heart Failure! The fluid is gone!
Also, my dad went to the VA and his results came back great too! No prostate cancer, and he doesn't have to go back for a year!
Ricks dad also has been doing great this week! He even helped Rick stain the deck to the studio.
Remember to spend some time with God today... He loves to spend time with you!
