Back around the first of the year I was listening to some life planning seminars that were really really good. Here is a link so you can listen too.

Since then I have been implementing a lot of the things I already knew but had either gotten away from or had forgotten. Things like keeping my main calling first. And keeping other things in order. Back several years ago right about the time my Mom was diagnosed with cancer we went to a Heidi Baker meeting, (she is a speaker/minister/well known missionary). She was sharing about destiny, and asking the Lord to remind us all what ours was, what was the vision, the goal, the life calling purpose to accomplish on this earth. It was such a good reminder because the following days were quite a whirlwind and folks seriously tried to distract me. Right after my Mom passed away I even had a woman, a Godly woman but who was going through her own struggles, come to me and said God said you were supposed to do THIS. Well funny thing about that. I know His voice and that was not what He was saying to me. I KNEW what He wanted from me, it was to stay focused, and He had just recently reminded me. He is sooo good that way.
So. Ask Him to remind you, what is YOUR main calling? And then next and next.
Now here is the surprising part… I learned this from the above seminar. Do your daily to-do lists, your goals, your purpose, your ambition and motivation all point towards accomplishing those priorities? Mine sometimes have not. While they might be good, and they might be somewhat helpful they didn’t always support where I wanted to go in the long run. So I have done a little restructuring, and will continue to.
Some simplifying, some pacing (as in pace yourselves,) some prioritizing, some relaxing and some creating. These are some of my changes for 2016. How about you? How are your plans coming along?
Read tomorrow about how my Lilla Rose business fits in my life goals, and why it matters so much to me, I will give you a hint, it isn’t about money . .
and .. your thoughts?
