Ever felt like you hate something that is so very good for
you? Its like that with me and discipline, mainly self
discipline, actually always self discipline!
I like to think that God made me with this free Spirit
that floats around enjoying whatever I want, haha,
and I can do that for a season, but alas that season
departs as quickly as it arrives and it seems to leave
behind a trail of destruction, much like a tornado,
you see for me, I realise now that the pleasures of an
undisciplined life are short reaching, and there are
consequences, like no socks, no dinner, no towels,
no good attitudes, no fun!!
Now I love doing things, all sorts of things, I have
the kind of mind that likes to know about a lot of
stuff but that all has to be in balance, for example
I love to create things , to have an understanding
of how a lot of things work, and thats great but it
doesn't get dinner on the table. I love to cook as well
and create delicious meals for my family and I feel
really good doing that, and then I remember that
God gave me a family who wants to eat every day!
What is it with that???
Well I have had to learn to make self discipline my
friend, ( we do have the occasional falling out, but I
know that being disciplined actually allows me to
be a much freer person than before).
This is a work in progress, I have had help of late
with a book that I have read from my Bible College
Course, called "Celebration of Discipline". The
course has also been teaching me to live my life following
a weekly planner, this is very good for me and I am
learning to love it!
"Its not enough to have great qualities; we should also
have the management of them ."
That last sentence is awesome, Got to stick that were everyone can read it.
