I like this list you created! I especially like the points you made about listening rather than talking along with taking time to figure things out in your life. It's important to be patient with yourself so you can give your best...the only competition you have is yourself. Can't worry about what everyone else is doing. We have to trust that God will lead us where we're going when the time is right.
ReplyDeleteYou also made a good point about reading more. Unfortunately....this is a problem area for me. :( I wanna read more but it's hard to get back into the habit since things can get hectic in my folk's house and on top of that, since I'm trying to read books online (which involves my laptop), someone is ALWAYS interrupting me! Very frustrating. But I'm gonna keep trying to be consistent. Thanks for sharing!
Yes reading can be a struggle when you have many distractions. But staying consistent is something we learn over time. Just keep it up and you will get used to it. Wishing you all the best. Thanks for reading and commenting. I really appreciate.
