Put Him First

Here we are. The 20th day of the year.

How is everyone doing? Are you keeping up your resolution? I’m being completely honest it.

It is SOOOOO hard 😀

At times it seems completely impossible because of fatigue and just pure busyness throughout the day. I came upon a pattern though. Every day is not easy but when I put God first (praying, meditating, devotional, etc.) in the mornings, every things goes a LOT more smoothly

I mean think about it…

Nothing is impossible with God.

Now don’t misquote me. I’m not saying that when you put God first, everything automatically shifts into a happier shift. I still have bad days even when I do put Him first. It just reassures and reaffirms His shoulder to lean on and that His name is a strong tower. When I go in, I am safe…”rain or shine”.

What can you do during your morning routine that gives our Savior (even if it’s a fifteen minute block) the time He deserves? Allowing Him to go before us during our day? Giving Him thanks for the good and the bad? For this day, the day before, and the day after?

  • Start a devotional (Bible app)
  • Do a daily prayer journal challenge
  • Wake up earlier for prayer before you start your usual routine
  • Get on 1 year Bible plan

Maybe you have your own unique ways to put God first in your daily life. You might do your own devotions during the afternoon or on your lunch break. Leave some ideas down below. I’d love to hear about them.

(Side note: As you may or may not know, I will be making podcast episodes to verbally correlate with the written posts. Look out for it this coming week. I use the Anchor app to create, edit, and publish it. So, an easier way to listen to it might be to download it but I believe that it is now available on Google Podcasts and Spotify.

Stay awesome and God Bless!

New Year, New _____

Everyone is still on the “new year, new me” wave. I mean, it’s only the ninth day of the year right? 😀

It’s time for something new. We are in a season of a fresh start or, as some would say, a clean slate. Maybe 2019 could be a beginning of your new workout routine, adapt a new hobby, or change your hair style/color.
Studies show that it takes about 3 weeks, or 21 days, to create a new habit. Maybe this is your year to make some new ones.

What about your spiritual life?

This could be the time to start a journey into some new habits within your walk with Christ. There can be specific times where you establish a block of prayer and or Bible reading, just to stay on top of your relationship with God. He wants us to be healthy physically, emotionally, and mentally.

But He also wants us to obtain a vibrant health spiritually.

2019 could be your year to draw closer to the Father. He loves you and wants your time. No matter who you are or what you’ve done.

Take advantage of the new slate.
