Time Management

In my assigned readings from Time Management from the Inside Out, I'm gaining some new insight about prioritization. I can essentially boil down what Part Two said by saying that the author thinks we should all determine what is important to us and what our big-picture goals in life are. Then we need to plan activities that will carry us in that direction. Basically, it's not enough to be an efficient planner of time...we have to know where we're going in order to get there. That reminded me of the good things that have come from this acccountability partnership. I am, indeed, moving in the direction I want to go in.
It has been my goal to have a well-established, consistent prayer life. We're having a revival right now at church...and I feel like I've been to Heaven tonight. The church was literally saturated with the spirit of God. I've been in Pentecost for a lot of years, and service like this usually happen at camp meetings or something phenomenal. The point I'm driving at here, however, is that I'm not standing there thinking "oh, my, I've got to start praying." I've BEEN praying. Granted, I still want to do more...but the pattern is there...and I honestly feel like the Lord is answering some of my (and other people's) prayers right now...and that feels so good.
I could go on, but it's the same with other things too...since testing the waters and diving in to being accountable to a mentoring brother, I'm starting to reap the fruits of greater self-discipline, better habits, and more responsibility. I know Steven must get exasperated with me sometimes...I myself get exasperated with me...and I'm SURE not perfect yet. I regularly have to admit to areas where I'm not measuring up. But the point is, we're getting there. We're making progress. And BOY that feels good!
