Let’s Start Now

What are we waiting for?

We know we want to change our stories. We know our lives can be bigger than what they are now. We know that God is calling us to a life of pure joy and rich faith.

So what are we waiting for?

What’s keeping us from…
Spending more time getting to know the God who loves us unconditionally…
Eating more fruits and vegetables and less stuff that comes from a box…
Getting outside and playing or walking or making snow angels …
Forgiving the person who hurt us terribly…
Choosing to live now, rather than wait and live some other day.

Procrastination is a decision that makes us feel better, but gets us nowhere. And it leads to frustration and disappointment.

Here’s what I’ve learned…
My life will never be “ready” to really start living. I can’t wait for the laundry to be done, the client work completed, the marketing plan perfected, and the healthy menus planned out for the next week. Staying in that holding pattern doesn’t work.  “I’ll start tomorrow” is a game I’m playing with myself. And I always lose.

So will you join me in recommitting to living today? Starting now?

Before your head hits the pillow tonight…
Sit with God for 10 minutes. Ask Him to meet you. Consider what you can do NOW to change your life.

And then tomorrow …
Eat one apple.
Walk for 10 minutes outside.
Identify one thing that makes you smile and do it / enjoy it.

And maybe…
Think about your answer to the question, “What are you waiting for?”
Answering the question is one giant step forward in living the life God has invited us to live.

What are we waiting for?
Let’s start living now.

P.S. I am speaking this message to my own heart as I write it.  Sometimes we all need a little kick-in-the-butt.
