Disicions
I have this plan of sewing a dress today because I saw a picture this past week, and it inspired me, so I want the same exact dress. Now that it’s Monday and my to-do list is growing bigger, I am questioning if focusing on sewing a dress today is a wise thing to do.
Right now, I went on a very slow walk with Milo, and I am going to take the time to pray and ask the Holy Spirit, what do I need today?
I have an answer and a direction. There is nothing wrong with sewing today, but it definitely shouldn’t be my main mission. Instead of focusing on sewing, I should prioritise resting in all the important things that I have on my to-do list.
So instead of focusing solely on my sewing project, I will bake cookies for the party I will have with my fourth graders tomorrow, do my exercises, shower, feed my family, and do some reading. The temptation to sew a dress and have a new dress is very strong, but that means that I will have to either stress myself out to the point where I will be exhausted and put a lot of striving and pressure on myself for all of the other things that I have to do on top of it.
Today I choose God, and I choose wisdom, not striving.
I must admit a flaw of mine here. I did spend an hour just scrolling on Instagram, and I haven’t done that for over two weeks. Now it’s time to get back to my self-discipline.
