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!”
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…
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.
Happy Friday!
My daughter left me a stack of old pictures on the ledge in the hall for me to peruse through this morning. For some reason, I started to cry, BECAUSE it was so overwhelming to see just how GOOD our life has really been. THUS …
To All my readers, I want to apologize for not posting more often. I am going to try real hard to get an organizing post out next week. Thanks for being so patience with me. Have a great weekend!
I would like to go back to Blog Chill Day # 13 for a moment. The message in that blog post was that we can ONLY work on ourselves, we can not change the world, well you know what I mean… Many times when are lives are out of order, when things around us are in chaos, when we are in the midst of VERY difficult situations, we believe that the people around us are going to change… The husband or wife will realize that they have hurt us, the boss will understand that he/she are being unfair and unreasonable, the situation or circumstance will just turn around…. But what I have come to realize and most of us should understand is that the person that must change is YOU/ME, whether we are right or wrong.
About five (5) years ago, I hit a real low point, yes I know that it is hard to believe. I won’t bore you with all the details, but I was in a depression. You know the story about my son… my mother in law had been with us about 14 years…. I was over 50 (very menopausal) and tired of being taken for granted!!!!! Yes, the born organizer was in the midst of CHAOS. A life without true order was very dark for me. At this point, the only place I could go was to the Lord. I didn’t like my husband, I was willing to leave my children and as for my mother in law… no comment!
I want you all to pay REAL close attention! What the Lord showed me was that ……. I had to change! I kept trying to tell the Lord that I wasn’t the problem and He kept telling me that if I didn’t change THEN my situation wouldn’t change. I don’t know when it happened, but slowly my perspective started to change. So what am I saying?? FOCUS on YOU versus them, the situation or circumstance! Ask the Lord to help you to work on you. You will be amazed at how your perspective will change. Now don’t get me wrong, life has not been perfect, but I have a PEACE now that I just cannot describe!!!!!!
