Trajectory Reset
Added 2022-02-15 12:01:01 +0000 UTCAs I have found that we are already 6 weeks into February, I thought about do I like the trajectory I am on this year? If not, how can I make adjustments that will put me on track?
I couldn’t remember what my “word” for the year was. I like having that “word” because it refocuses me when life becomes overwhelming or I feel I have too many options and directions to go.
I flipped immediately in my journal to the day I was praying and the word “determination” came to me.
It defeats doubt, discouragement, distraction and most importantly for me, ‘Did” God really say that?!
That last “D” question is often a big tripping spot for me. The reason is, much of my determination comes from what I believe God has called me to do. It is not typical and it doesn’t fit neatly into a category. Pastor Jim calls me a pioneer. Well, that requires determination AND if I doubt my mission or ask myself the age-old snake in the garden question “Did God really say that”....well then I question myself, stop the mission temporarily and spin around looking for validation and wait to “feel” better again.
So, my trajectory has to be set knowing that in the Secret Place with God (my mornings in quiet when I am most focused and still before God) I received my calling and then set out with determination. Shoot down the doubts and discouragements that come from people or physical pain.
What is your trajectory this year? It is NOT too late to reset it!
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. - Romans 12:11-12
