Day 15 Rest

I have a very hard time doing this but we have to devote time to it no matter how restless we feel. During this time we are better able to think up ideas. Having just 15 min of downtime a day can do wonders.

Day 14 Enjoy

You hear people say I am getting old almost as if they haven’t appreciated the time they have had this far. In everyday language we sometimes shift our thinking from silly to serious that we repeatedly say. I struggle with this I have a hard time staying in any one place. I get antsy if I am not busy and I have found myself saying I am old when I am not. Pocket watches were a way of keeping things in perspective, with a picture of a loved one in it. This watch was given to me by my buddy as a groomsmen present. Especially since he is leaving for boot camp tomorrow. I will try to have it on me at all times reminding me to enjoy the time I have instead of complain about what I do with it.

Day 11 Schedule

As is evident in my own life time is a hard thing to wrangle and as it marches on it seems to only get tougher. At first schedule everything it’s easier to do with a smart phone but doable with a cheap paper planner and they sometimes carry those at the 99 cent store. When you see the things you want to accomplish written down you are more likely to follow through. This app is called diacarta and is pretty cool.

Day 10 Reflection

We rarely are who we think we are. Our view of ourselves and how others see us is very different and what ever side of the perspective you are. Only one verse in the NIV has the word reflection in it 1st Cor 13:12 which is fascinating. Reflecting on this whole experience makes me realize I may not be able to do all and record it everyday I have done pretty well faltering on some. As a youth pastor kids help me to reflect every week wether I want to or not.

Day 13 Respect

When dealing with other peoples time be careful with it as it reflects how you feel about that person. Being on time, calling too much or overstaying your welcome can all begin a broken relationship with friends family or a significant other. I know I will have problems with these time disciplines.

Day 12 Select

You can schedule things but stuff comes up and if you are like me you will over book yourself. So prayerfully consider what it is that you do with your time it makes all the difference. There are alot of really good things you can do but it doesn’t mean you should. See where your life seems to center around and how God is using that.

Day 9 Smile

20111125-230142.jpg

Especially when it hurts. This is my son Mattox after falling onto the media center and getting a fat lip. It is easy to smile when things are not so good we forget to. This one I tend to do well but want to leave it here as a reminder. If you look at the day as being brighter then it will be.

Day 8 Remember

Remembering is good just this last week we remembered my buddy who we lost at 21 yrs of age. Every year we would go to see a movie with him and now 7 yrs later I am proud to say we still do with his parents. In a world that forgets and moves on quickly this is counter cultural. As Christians we often remember what CHRIST did for us and less often remember what HE said. For this reason memorizing scripture is invaluable. I have these two stacks of cards given to me many years ago and will be memorizing these day by day that will keep me remembering.

Day 7 Focus

There are many things that make us loose focus. Video games are something I can do but don’t need too. They are not as much a problem now as they have been in the past but none the less I am gonna cut it out. There are a lot of things that we can do that are not beneficial to us spiritually add a bunch of these things into your life and all of a sudden u have a hard time focusing.
