“Stability is essential for your sanity.”
What are your daily routines? Do you start your mornings with exercise or just a simple cup of coffee? Whatever you do first in your day, sets the stage for the next 24 hours.
Stability is as simple as creating a list, writing in a prayer journal, reading a daily devotional, or just saying a prayer before your feet hit the floor.
Being a mother of 2 boys, writer, public speaker, teen ministry director, and working part time at a medical office, my life can get hectic and a lot of times, unstable. An unstable house is certain to fall when a storm hits, will you be ready?
I challenge you to make a list of 1-5 tasks that you want to achieve each day. Don’t make the tasks impossible, just make them something you know you can achieve.
For example, my first list looked like this:
1) Make the bed
2) Drink my coffee before the kids wake up (not always easy)
3) Take time to pray with my kids before leaving the house (or even in the drop off line at school)
4) Read scripture / devotional
5) Write 250-500 Words
Every time I mark off one item on my list, it gives me a sense of achievement and reminds me that I can do anything if I just set my mind to it and trust God.
Life is not all about checklists, but when life gets busy, it’s important to keep yourself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually stable. If it takes a list to help you stay on track, write your list every night before you go to bed. If you like to run to clear your head, run your heart out. Singers, praise Him every day and use your voice to remind yourself of His love. Each person is different, but each person has a purpose designed by God.
Are you following God’s plan?
What’s holding you back from a stable life in Christ?
