Just Breathe

By Leave a Comment

Checklist We all have things to do.

We have our long lists and our requirements.

We have the expectations of ourselves and of others.

We have the things we want to do for ourselves and the things that others want us todo for them.

We have the nonstop coming and going, the long waiting to get nowhere fast.

Heart

In the midst of all of this our minds and hearts become overwhelmed with the cares of this life.

When will it ever stop?

How are we able to sleep at night?

We can’t…at least not restfully…

The thoughts keep racing. We worry and fret about things that haven’t even happened yet.  We aren’t even sure if they ever will.

So what should we do?

How do we stop ourselves from feeling overwhelmed and tired emotionally?

We have to STOP and take a deep breath.  It will take some focus to do nothing else in that moment, but it is imperative to find a way to just breathe.

Just Breathe

This is what I’m telling myself today.

I have a lot on my plate and to make sure that I don’t get overwhelmed, I have to remove somethings.

Before I do that I am going to take some time to rest and breathe.

I hope that you find encouragement in this as well and that you are able to do the same.

Remember…our hearts can only take so much…

Have fun in life, love what you do, run the race, kill the giants, but don’t forget to breathe…

 

Killing Giants

By 2 Comments

Over the past couple of days, I have been thinking and reevaluating some things in my life.

With a fine tooth comb, I have been looking at the things that I do and how I spend my time.  I want to be effective in all that I do and sometimes that means cutting back on other things that seem to eat away my time and energy.

The other day I was feeling a bit stuck.  In order to get unstuck, I started to think about the things I was doing and the things that  I wanted to get done.  I started to realize that I needed to overcome some of the challenges that I had been facing.  After listening to a podcast from Joyce Meyers, I felt encouraged.

I was motivated to attack, not only the challenges, but also the giants.

So now, I’m declaring it.

 I’m a giant killer.

I am going to be like David.  He took out that giant in a very unconventional way.  With a sling shot and a few smooth rocks.

I am going unconventional as well.  I’m looking for guidance from the Holy Spirit as I go along.  And I plan on killing all of the giants that come my way…one by one 🙂

What do you think?  Do you have any giants to kill?

Here’s what I’m going to do today and I invite you to do the same.

I’m going to stop and ask God which areas of my life I need to correct.  Are there any giants in my life that need killing?  How should I go about doing it?

I’m sure that you are like me and feel tempted to get it all done at one time, but that can be a bit overwhelming.  Like the say…

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

So…one step, one thing at a time, I am going to take back the areas of my that have been conquered by giants.

Are you up for the challenge as well?

Leave me a comment and tell me what you think and plan to do.
