Halfway
Coming out of a recent jet-lag fog, I noticed the year was more than halfway through.
As that reality settled into my breath, my jumbled thoughts searched for some ballast:
Where am I now and where do I want to be at the end of this year?
I looked through my notes of hopes from January for a reality check and found some good progress, as well as some unreached goals that I rearranged to fit the now.
How easy it is to get stuck in the mire of diminutive thinking, run over with “what ifs” or “if onlys,” that dampen courage and initiative. Jerking off the wet blanket of self-disdain, I regain my bearings, listen to Truth, and recall my firm soul Anchor!
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”
Hebrews 6:19 NIV
A mid-year debrief to take stock of life is a creative way to give yourself a pep talk. An honest assessment with gentle grace and stern hope can put your faith into action and keep you from regret and from losing what you’re working toward. Remembering that you are working together with Him, frees you to regroup and re-set.
How are you doing (and being) with your intentions for this year?
What could make this year a success for you? Do you need to simplify and focus?
What happens if you do nothing?
Life goes by too quickly to do nothing now.
“You are just a vapor…”
James 4:14 NASB
