The New Schedule

Posted in CHCH Challenge

Well, I spent the weekend working out my new schedule. Now I have a template made of the "uninterrupted week" that I can tailor to each interrupted week as it comes. Today went much smoother using this new schedule. I got my quiet time and extra Bible study time in. Yeah! We were even able to shift things easily to accomodate an unplanned appointment.

 

Working on this schedule has been such a good thing. I've been looking back in my journal and seeing prayer after prayer asking for focus and direction. God just had to bring me to that point in which I had to take action. He also used the THE CLEAN HEART, CLEAN HOME CHALLENGE ORGANIZER made by Dandelion Seeds to equip me for this task. The schedule has caused me to seek God's desire for my extra moments and to use the time He has given me more wisely. It has also equipped me to be better prepared to teach and more readily available for my dear students. I, in essence, was Wasting My Time (which is, in reality, Wasting God's Time). The following scripture has been echoing in my head:

Ephesians 5:15-17 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

 

I am praying that as I use this new schedule, God will show me where He wants me each day. This schedule will be much like a journal. I will be able to look back and see what is taking priority in my life and where God is leading me. I am also praying that God helps me to release any "extra" time consumers that I am holding onto, and to allow me the time I've desired to get some projects done.

 

I just have one problem. When I sat down to blog tonight, I just stared at the screen. My brain has turned off by this time of evening. I need to adjust my blog time to morning when I have a clear head and a fresh cup of coffee. Until then, Goodnight.

Isn't it wonderful to look back and see God's hand on something in your life? I'm so glad that you have been able to work out a schedule that is working for you and giving you some peace of mind. Now, could you teach me how I can do that too? :)
