My flesh wanted the fun and excitement of working full-time in a high rise in downtown. But my spirit knew it wasn't right.
The battle exhausted me emotionally.
I go from thing to thing. I have always looked at it as being open minded. Being willing to rethink things and learn and grow and change my course accordingly.
And maybe it IS a good thing at least some of the time.
I am constantly on the prowl for what God wants me to be doing. Something comes along and I pounce on it like a puppy on a new, squeeky toy. And then, in the middle of working on the first thing, something else comes a long and I am like "Squirrel!" and I drop the first thing and move on to the next. Sometimes I go back to the original thing, but then I see another squirrel and the same pattern repeats itself.
So, this year I am determined to break my gypsy cycle. So I met with a counselor and got some great advice. And I looked up how to write a mission statement, and I wrote one.
Apparently my lack of attention span is discontent related to strained familial relationships, a lack of gratefulness and not living and working within my calling.
So, for the next 40 days here is what I am praying
My Mission statement
Titus 2:3-5
The Sermon on the Mount
and for wisdom
I am surrendering. Seeking God with all my heart. Adding some structure into my daily life. Pursuing relationships. Being intentionally grateful. And believing the truth that God tells me.
