It’s That Simple!

“With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high?…He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”  Micah 6:6 & 8

I often find myself worrying about what is my passion and my perfect job.  I fret about what I “should be” doing with my life.  The answer is simple, when I take time to stop and listen to God speaking in my everyday life.  I have set a goal for myself this year, that I would make my priorities the things that I know improve my mental and physical health. And there are just two things I want to ensure I add to my daily routine: a morning meditation and a daily walk.  As I speak this out loud, I hear my own voice condemning myself because “what will others think when they hear that I haven’t always had these goals?”  Yeah, I’m that kind of person, the one who likes to look great on the outside but is pretty hard on herself on the inside.  So this year, I’m putting myself out there.  I’m guessing most of you know I’m not perfect but admitting that to myself AND to the world is the challenging part for me.

It’s kind of crazy! I KNOW that a simple daily meditation, such as reading the Scripture of the day on Bible Gateway, sets my mind in a better place for my actual job.  And I KNOW that I FEEL BETTER when I get my 10,000 steps each day. And yet it’s easy to allow other things to take priority.  Well no more!   So my thought is that if I read the scripture, and post something about it every day, I’ll eventually develop a habit. And I’m asking any of you who are reading this, to feel free to call me out if you haven’t seen a post in a few days.  And feel free to comment if you see something you like or something you want to challenge.

It’s really that simple! God doesn’t care what I do for a job or what my passion is.  All that’s asked is that I am just and kind to others and I “walk (all 10,000 steps!) humbly with my God!”
