Many of us have a mental list of places that would be nice to visit, jobs that would be ideal, and things that we’d like to do. It seems that too often, though, that’s exactly where those dreams stay – in our mind!
As a married, full-time working mother of two, I know the challenges that come with finding the time or the motivation to pursue, let alone even think about, my dreams and goals. I know that there are seasons in life and I need to be present in whatever phase that I am in, since God has me there for a reason! I also believe, though, that God gave each of us talents to use to aid the world and I need to be open to whatever He is calling me to do.
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we can often dismiss promptings from the Holy Spirit or over look seeds that God may be planting in our hearts for the future. We may be distracted by too much time on social media, held back by fear of failure, or worried about what others’ will think of us. Fortunately, we can choose how to respond and address these obstacles!
Whether it’s spending a few minutes in silence on the commute to work to listen to God, starting a journal, or choosing to read an inspirational book instead of watching television, there are minor changes we can make in our daily routines to be more open to God’s will and discovering His plan for us!
To read about one way that I have carved out more time in my day to devote to my family and my personal goals, check out my first guest post at Life Happens When! I love Leanne’s blog and am excited to be a part of it!
What sacrifices or changes have you made in order to grow in faith and work towards your goals?
