Day 1 goals complete!
I jumped into bed and turned the lights out 30 minutes early and set the alarm to get up 30 minutes earlier and I accomplished both!
Did I sleep all night- No. Was I tired and groggy the next morning – Yes! But I did it and accomplished the goal.
With a cup of coffee in hand this morning, I sat down to read His word. I’m in Jeremiah and reading about how people turned from God and made excuses for their sin. I can relate- just saying!
Then I turned to my Bible app to continue my daily devotional I’m in about being still! If anyone knows me- you know I don’t sit still! I sat back in my chair to see what I would feel just being still and this was me.
I love the sound of crickets chirping, I need to go warm up my coffee, this chair is uncomfortable, my neck hurts, what do I have to do today, wonder what the time is, do I need to start getting ready? I better look at the time… 3 minutes later I was up and warming my coffee!
Yep, my body was still (a whole 3 min) and my mind was not! Today my goal is to just stop throughout the day and try to rest my mind! Be mindful of resting!
Not like sleeping resting but stopping my mind from running! Does that make sense?
Does anyone else struggle to stop the mind? I’m sure I’m not the only one!
Pray for me because this will be harder than climbing out of bed at 5 am! But if I don’t ever learn to “Be Still” – how will I hear Him in this process?
