This is necessary for growth! But my challenge to you is, where do you draw the line? When the see-saw stays down on one side too long, that’s when your inner fun has to start screaming and yelling to let them down so they can be part of the action! Now don’t misunderstand me, there are sacrifices to be made, and times to give up play for the process. The lyrics of a song come to mind, I don’t remember the song or the group but the lyrics ring clear, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. I was missing valuable time with my growing boys, and I was not investing in the connection and growth of my marriage, which should be my most important relationship here on earth! I was also missing time to rejuvenate and do things I enjoy in life for myself. As a result I was missing time to connect, play, and laugh. The problem I encountered, being a potential driven- what’s the next challenge person, is my work was never done.
I wasn’t giving myself permission to play until my work was done, which in some cases is a good standard to live by. I found my priorities were out of alignment, and I was missing out on some great moments because I was constantly pushing myself to the next challenge.
I’ve spent the last few months rearranging my schedule, looking at my planner, and focusing on designing my life vs designing my business. So as a person who strives to continually grow and stretch themselves, please keep reading. I found the title and the content of this message spoke to me because of my personality type and inner drive. No, this reflection article isn’t going to preach to you in a religious sense so stay with me. Only when you understand your full acceptance by a loving God can life change begin to happen.Enjoy Great Moments – That was the lesson title of a sermon series from Chip Ingram, a pastor I enjoy listening to and learning from.
It’s time to get off the hamster wheel of Christian expectations. In Yes! You Really Can Change, you’ll learn the difference between living for God’s approval and from God’s approval. How do you break out of a destructive lifestyle?.How do you know when you’re really changing?.Why do so many Christians change so little?.Pastor Chip Ingram’s answer is simple: Yes, you really can change! With godly wisdom and practical advice drawn straight from scripture, Chip will help you answer questions such as: What’s going on? Can things ever get better? Can my life ever turn the corner? The Holy Spirit even lives inside us! And yet, too many Christians are stuck in the mud when it comes to life change. As Christians, we know we’ve got God’s help. We all want life change, but achieving it is hard. If God changes lives, why is mine stuck in the mud?
