Today was about getting better. Getting better where I have weaknesses. I was in the zone, being intentional, paying attention. So the day rocked. I don’t know where the focus came from or why I sometimes lack it, but I took notice of its presence in this day. I’m grateful I have been given the grace and ability to get better and somewhere to go.
One of my favorite Bible verses and daily goal says "Press on." "Forgetting what is behind and straining for toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 3:14)
It’s encouraging that high expectations are offered. Without such a gift, apathy, laziness, boredom, and eventually restlessness would set in to our body and spirit. There’s something to being in the zone that awakens our souls to be satisfied. Probably for the simple reason that was why we were made. To be fruitful and multiply. To work the land. To add to and revel in God’s economy.
Getting better at life, living awake and aware to the zone is what it’s all about. I’m far from being fully accomplished. But through intentional efforts and focus, my spirit will be happy and many others’ will enjoy refreshment.
"Tomorrow is a fresh, new day...with no mistakes in it."- Miss Stacey, Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maude Montgomery.
