One thing that has happened everyday is my commitment to post everyday for 30 days!!!! I am BECOMING more and more each day--even if the actual "plan" is re-arranged on a regular basis. If non of this make sense to you, that'sokay--I'm just barely making sense of it myself.....

I have been realizing that working full time and having three kids and a husband and a house is a recipe for an ever changing dynamic. The kind of structure that I've been saying I need is not really realistic with these kinds of dynamics. Discipline IS possible-but an unchanging, daily routine is not realistic because there are too many things that are out of my control--that cause me to have to change the structure almost daily. As I have been changing things (rolling with the punches) I have been feeling guilty for not being "disciplined" enough--but the truth is that I have been working my BUTT off everyday and sticking to the structure as much as I can--the whole HEART of the commitment to become a disciplined person is a constant, it's just the details that get rearranged. More figuring this all out to come...I'm still thinking it through.

Hi Jenny-
ReplyDeleteIt has been cool to read about your journey of discipline. I am definitely not one to be the expert on the subject, but one thing I have learned is that God does not want us to feel guilt. I think guilt can actually keep us from Him (personal experience). The other thing that comes to mind is that, with a schedule of a busy mom and employee and wife, God can meet us in moments throughout the day. Like in the car or at the copier, whatever. He doesn't prescribe what our time with Him needs to look like, so we do what works to be closer to Him. Just some thoughts. Miss you!!!
