Yesterday I mentioned in my post about life returning to a routine. I wrote how I function better in this environment. What is also connected to life returning to its routine is what “life” expects from you in this routine. Routine is not just about one living with structure, the world in which this structure abides has expectations in it. This reality truly hit home yesterday. For a few weeks I was not exposed to the needs of the ones in counseling. I was not exposed to the needs of our Celebrate Recovery ministry. My own family limited their needs knowing I needed to be with Kathy. Yesterday seemed to be the day when life returned to its normal pace. As I reflect on this today I smile thinking how much I forgot that “routine” has in it I had set aside. 

What I mention in the above paragraph I can now place into my commitment for this year. I will put each of these needs into first: Keeping my eyes on Jesus, Listen to His Voice and then Obey His Commands. Taking a moment to keep these three actions in place as I live each day is amazingly doable when I keep in mind that this very day I AM is with me and already has in store what my part is to be. I am really young at this but I want to grow in this process each day ahead of me knowing to do this one day at a time. Thank YOU JESUS!
