Worry is a waste of
energy. It can’t change the past. It can’t control the future. It only makes today miserable. - Rick Warren
Never let an impossible
situation intimidate you. Let it motivate you - to pray more, trust more,
expect more. - Rick Warren
In early September, the author challenged
readers to take on a new task/project/activity to finish the year strong. As we are less than 32 days from the end of
the year, how is the reader doing on completing or implementing this
project?
The author has to tell on herself. Work has been extremely busy and she has been
focused with a few other things meaning her new project has not been her top
priority. Focusing on the project the
week of Thanksgiving, she ran into issues with people being on vacation and not
available to answer her questions. Stressing
over the situation over the long weekend, the author lost sleep because she did
not know how she would handle the situation.
During this time, the author read a
couple devotionals by Rick Warren that challenged her to not worry because it
would be a waste of her energy. One
specific devotion said that sometimes the best thing to do is get a good night
sleep because the situation would look different the next way. Looking back over previous blog posts, the
author herself wrote to relax like Carl Lewis when he competed because he ran
faster when he was relaxed.
As the weekend came to an end, the author
came up with a plan and was able to implement.
Almost immediately after implementing, she had peace.
ACTION: What
actions can you take this week to move closer to accomplishing your
task/activity/project? Remember to relax
to go faster as we move closer to the end of 2022.
