So I want to make changes in my life, I always feel like I have to do this or do that in order to have peace. The problem has always been HOW do I get from A to B?
I don't make the changes! Matthew6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Putting on the Mind of Christ in my house work and family is a very new mind set for me ( especially the house work ) Not by my will,but by Yours Lord. What if in planning my days I sought the Lord first? I find that when I know I need to make a habit of something I try to schedule it in i.e. More one on one time with the kids, laundry,Clean bathrooms, Bible time with the family, well when I do that it never really pans out.
God moves in our life in small ways everyday, a nudge here, a inspiration there, and correction when needed. So why do I feel the need to make BIG changes that have to happen on a Schedule?
OK so I have been trying to loose my hand on our schedule and let the Lord nudge me daily. It has gone something like this.....Get up early and ,make breakfast. This has been amazing, normally I get up when my kids jump on me (that is no way to wake)now I am up before them and can greet them without being half asleep. It has also given me extra time with my little man, he is the early bird in this family. Then when the princess wakes up I am able to sit with her one on one because little man is less needy. The Lord has not over whelmed me like I over whelm myself. He has just given me a few things to do a day. And guess what? I am getting more done now than ever before. Things like cleaning out my coat closet, that allowed me to fit my vacuum into it which sat in the living room before.
I am sure that the more I give my day to the Lord the more he will Give to me.
Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
