My Journey of Faith, Family and Frugality

Striving to live in obedience to the One who holds my life in His hands!

No more coasting!

I am committing right now to living up to what God has for me in every area of my life! I am no longer going to settle for second best! That doesn't mean that I am going to do everything or anything, for that matter, perfectly! But, it means that I am going to seek Him for His priorities in my life and put myself fully into those things!

I have really been struggling the last month with figuring out how to handle all that I have on my plate! I feel like I've not been doing anything well! I feel like I've been spread thin and worn out! I feel like I've been living in survival mode and not accomplishing the things that go beyond necessary! I can honestly say that if I evaluated my life in the last month I couldn't point to one area and say I did that well! I have felt overwhelmed and defeated and questioning if I'm really where God is wanting me right now! After closer examination, other than maybe a couple things, I think that I am where God wants me to be, but I need to allow Him to begin to show me how to make it all work!

So, I am determined that I am going to find His priorities! I want Him to show me how to make this all work instead of feeling defeated when I can't handle it all! If I am pursuing the passions that He has placed in my life, then He will enable me to accomplish those things to His satisfaction! I want each of the things I do each day to be done for His glory! I am going to push through those times of discouragement when it feels like I can't do it all, because you know what, I can't, but He can! I am going to keep evaluating what I am doing and figure out which things either need to change the way I am doing them or need to go all together! An area I really struggle with is organization and time management! I know that to make this all work, I have got to figure out how to better manage my time. I am trusting that God will help strengthen me in this area.

It is my goal through my blog to help others who are struggling with the same things that I am! I hope that if someone else is feeling that same way that you can find the way to live up to the potential that God has placed in you as well! If this is an area you are also struggling with and would like to share and have someone pray for you, I would love to hear from you! You can comment on here or send me a message. I would love to pray for you to be all that God wants you to be! I honestly believe that Satan would love nothing more than to keep us in those places of defeat! Feeling like we can't accomplish what we need to! When I feel overwhelmed, it seeps into every area of my life! I want to help other women to step into the fullness of what God intends for them!
