Do you? Have you tried? Sure we can manage to get the house and planner organized… but organizing is a life of itself. It is hard to live a full life and have any time left to organize.

You Don't Have Time For an Organized Life

Why I'm Deleting My Facebook Friends

I’m always looking for ways to simplify my life. Usually I look for ways to do it, but it doesn’t go beyond that. I find ideas to implement, then I toss them aside. God’s been working on that with me. He’s been showing me lately I have to create more margin in my life to make room for His work. Parts of it have been easy; other parts not so much.

Using my “no muscle” as Henry Cloud and John Townsend refer to it, isn’t always easy. Deep down I’m a people pleaser. I enjoy serving others and making them happy. But that can wear me out and keep me from pursuing the calling God has put on my life.
I don’t want to be busy, I want to be productive. The more simple my life is, the more productive I can be.

Excuses vs. Action

I used to be a professional at making excuses.
I can’t go for a walk because I’m too fat. I can’t write a book because it’s just too much work. I can’t pursue relationships because I’ll fail. I can’t. I can’t. I can’t.

Every year that went by without taking action, something in my heart died. The spark of hope disappeared from my eyes. Passion withered away. Hope was lost.
For every day that passed and I stayed in the same spot, every dream that filled my mind faded further into the background. My desires became a distant memory, replaced by despair.
But everything didn’t die. Somewhere inside there was a tiny part that still strived to do something with my life.

Being Present

I was in a movie once. Now, I’m famous. I even went to the premiere and brought my mom and best friend to watch. I felt pretty important — until my mom asked me to rewind the movie in the theater because the scene went by too fast.
I may have forgotten to mention I wasn’t the star. I didn’t even have a speaking part. I sat at the table with a complete stranger and was instructed to laugh when I heard the word “Action!”
After three takes, I got up and went home. I prepared myself for the agent to call and the deals to start rolling in. Six years later, I’m still waiting for the call.

Living Alive vs. Accepting Life

Living Alive vs. Accepting Life

There are just some things in life that suck. There are circumstances we become a part of that are out of our control and that too sucks. So, what do we do about it?

Living Alive vs. Accepting Life

Do we accept those circumstances or do we simply live with them? 
God has been showing me lately that there is a difference. In Ken Davis’ new book, Fully Alive: Lighten Up and Live – A Journey that Will Change Your LIfeKen asks this question:

“When did we stop living life and start letting life happen to us?”
