Good morning to everyone. Grace and peace be with you.
Yesterday I received a package that I wasn’t even sure I had truly ordered. I had meant to order it. I thought I had ordered it. I found my notes the other day of how to order it. However, it had taken so long that I was beginning to think this was another one of those times when I ‘thought’ I had done something but really hadn't. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I got home and found it sitting on my desk. Fyi…it is perfect.
Can you remember how many times you have had this feeling? Or how many times it has actually been a fact and you had not done the task you were sure you had completed? I can’t. That list is so extensive. I am rather sure that there is not enough memory on my laptop to store all those situations from me. Not to mention, I can’t remember all of them either … haha.
Truth of the matter is this: it happens. Sometimes, if you make a list … but my problem is I lose the list. Sometimes I post reminders in odd places … but my problem is I forgot why I needed to be reminded, OR my husband thinks I have lost my mind and pitches the note. My solution, for me, do the task as soon as humanly possible. Like right now, if I can. So at least the task is done. I have found that if I wait even a few minutes or get distracted, the task remains undone. Personally, I would rather be surprised that the task (the perfect order that arrived yesterday) shows its rewards that I had forgotten I had done. It makes for a mini miracle feeling.
One thing that I have noticed is that when I actually forget to do the task, the enemy pounces on my ego, my feelings, my worthiness, and anything else he can think of to bring me down. I am human. I make mistakes. I forget things. I forget things because we are in a society that believes that we should be an expert in ‘everything’ and be able to do many things at once. We were not designed that way. I do have my moments when he grabs my attention with his negativity; however, I do not allow him to remain near me for very long. I kick him to the curb and motivate right along, doing the best that I can do. I ask God for guidance daily to place my feet where He wants them and to place His words in my mouth. My days, even the chaotic ones, are rather peaceful.
Today, I encourage you to do the same. Do not beat yourself up continuously for being human. Go to God in prayer, ask for His guidance, and then listen for His still small voice to guide you. He is the whisper in the middle of chaos. His voice is beautiful and calming.
Be blessed today, my friends.
