My to do list 4 life

Well I’ve been saying that I need to make some changes and today was day 1. I actually got up early surfed the net, and even read my bible. I DEFINITELY need to spend more time in prayer and that’s my daily goal from here on. It’s going to be a struggle but there are some things in my life that I definitely need to give up to God. There are areas of my life that I need guidance, wisdom and discernment. I can’t solve problems on my own and I know this oh so well. I am going to have to re-learn how to take things to God in prayer and LEAVE them there as in not worry, fuss, and fret.

Seasons

A time to live, a time to die, a time to learn, a time to love...I remember hearing that song from the 70's "Turn, turn, turn" and I thought it was a great song even as a little kid. When I saw Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 it was like a light bulb moment for me. Each verse is a life lesson to be taken to heart. As an adult I've seen some of the seasons in my own life. Knowing that there are seasons doesn't necessarily make it any easier. Some things are obvious...when my babies were born that was a time to rejoice, and when my grandfather died that was definitely a time to mourn and be sad. Ecc 3:2b-3 A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. The other times are not so obvious, what do we do then? What is the cutting off point? I know people who pray and fast for days at a time, and others who profess to hearing God audibly speaking to them. Maybe my head is just really thick, because I have had 2 experiences in my life that kind of scared me because for a split second I thought I was going crazy. Later I realized that one of them was a vision, and the other I'm still like did God say that? Yes I am that person that occasionally needs God to bump my head against the wall for me to get the point. If I'm praying, fasting and thinking a season is over do I just stand up and say that out loud? Knowing when to move on and make MAJOR life changes used to be such a problem with me, if a change caused ANY type of disruption in my routine I would fight it with my last breath. I'm a little older and wiser and I have been feeling this change coming on (nope, not menopause). I feel like I've been watching it building for a long time now, and it's about to hit like a tornado. I need to get in my prayer corner and be sure that I am prayed up and ready, I think there's a battle ahead of me. I'm going to put my prayer girls on notice, I definitely need some extra help on this one.
