Order Your Steps is going on the road… sorta!
It is interesting how my life has evolved and the Lord continues to confirm my true purpose and how Order Your Steps plays a key role in that evolution. My eyes are being opened to see how I can best utilize all my gifts and talents. When I graduated high school, I wanted to be a teacher…. now I can teach organizing. How great is that!!!
During the later part of last year, I started conducting the Order Your Steps‘ “Organizing Made Simple” workshops at Senior Living Facilities. Then I branched out to locations like Wegmans at Woodmore and Largo/Kettering Public Library, where I introduced “Investing Your Time Wisely!”
Order Your Steps is in the house!!
Last week, Order Your Steps had a booth at the Senior Health and Fitness Day that was held at the Prince George’s County Sporting and Learning Center in Landover, MD. and NOW, we are preparing for the Bowiefest 2013 Home and Health Expo on June 1st. I hope to see you there! For more info, please click the link or check out my Facebook page (please “LIKE”, while you are there).
If we would just wait on the Lord, not sitting in idle, but waiting in expectation. Doors will open as God has promised, and we can walk right in…

#14 = Spiritual Perfection
In my last post, I found it very interesting that I purposely listed 14 activities that may be considered opportunities in our lives, especially if we are disorganized. So why / how did I connect these opportunities to “Spiritual Perfection”? I must admit that for several moments, I wondered the same thing?? However, these 14 activities are time robbers. Things that need to change in our lives, so that we will have the time to do other activities that would help us to create more order in our lives. The things that we may consider small, but do matter!
In my mind, “Spiritual Perfection”, begins (or continues) when we identify our opportunities, our imperfections and allow the Lord to step in to perfect us. Many times, we try to change things in our lives, on our own … but the Bible says His strength is made perfect in our weakness. We can’t do it by ourselves.
The Lord will continue to perfect us until He returns … to establish His divine order for our lives as He has ordained. But we must acknowledge our opportunities, make the time to do what needs to be done and most of all, allow Him to Order Our Steps!
Have a Happy …!!!
“Blog Chill Day” will return next Friday.
…Are you still wasting your valuable time? How?

9. Hunting for that one piece of paper that we need that we know was on our desk… just a second ago!
10. Looking for the other shoe, sock, earring, etc.
11. Scrambling for that last box of cornbread that we know was in the pantry.
12. Trying to find some space in our garage for our car.
13. Finding a place for one more plastic bin of stuff to put in the basement to go with the other 35 plastic bins that haven’t been opened since you moved in the house…. 8 years ago!
14. Looking for the needle in the haystack.
FOURTEEN: 7 x 2 = double measure of spiritual perfection.
Creating Order is not simply organizing stuff.[
So what does ALL of this mean?
Most of the things that impact our ability to organize are non-organizable (I don’t think that is a word :-)) stuff…
The Major one being TiME, which is well within our control.
Knowing is half the battle!
Lifetime Commitment!
Our Job never ends, and although we don’t always get it right,
we always try to do the best we know how.
Remember….
There was NO owner’s manual instructions guide!
But although God only loans them to us for a season,
we will ALWAYS be Mom!…

Why Waste 30 Minutes ……
1. Watching TV
2. Watching TV
3. Watching TV – Do you see a theme? Watching TV is a good way just to unwind & not have to think. BUT, it can soak up A LOT of our idle time!
4. Playing video games – Yes, adults play video games, games on Facebook, games on our phones, etc. Video games can become addicting. No Really!!
30 Minutes to be spent more wisely!
5. Checking Email – We can get sucked into endless email and before we know it, HOURS have passed.
6. Social Networking – No explanation required!
7. Sitting in Traffic – Yes, commuting is necessary, but have you thought about turning off the radio? How about listening to a good book (the Bible), a training /self-improvement CD? How about talking to our passenger or simply letting our brain REST?
8. Getting caught up in a conversation at the most un-opportune time, that goes on and on and on and on!
30 Minutes to be spent more wisely!
Any rebuttals? “These items are not a waste of time, but very necessary”…
Your comments are welcome!
What does this have to do with Personal Organizing?
Stay Tuned …
