Living By Design…How to Take Control of My Life

I was created on purpose with purpose and I have come to realize many of my issues were because I chose to live by default and not by design.

Living by default is when I allow my surroundings, my situation and my circumstances to dictate my direction and my reaction. The consequences of my reactions have been detrimental at times. I would feel and flex instead of feel, pause, pray and respond with thought and consideration.

Living by design is when I walk the straight and narrow path that is for me. When I acknowledge my distractions, but stay the course of my purpose with grace. This grace is a result of my daily discipline of spending time with God in his word and in prayer each morning.

Obviously, this is not a magic act nor is it promised to yield such a result daily, but it does edify my heart and mind. Beginning my day with God unites me with him. It restores my soul and fills me with peace and joy.

Living by design is me choosing to be self-aware and submissive to God. It is living intentionally with passion, using my gifts and talents in the many roles I walk in daily, to glorify Him. It is not a perfect life; it is a life of humility, sacrifice and service. How do you take control of your life?
