Some months ago I asked…
“Dear God, I just want enough finances to support myself, help others. Dine out with friends and some traveling.” Please show me what is your best for me and how I can accomplish it.”
Well, He has been answering my prayer over the last few months, and I am grateful.
“Thank you God for guiding me to the book “You will never have this day again” where I read an inspirational quote from Oprah “Do What You Have to do Until You Can do what you Really Want to do.”
It was like God hitting me over the head with a 2×4. It was then I realized I needed to accept doing as much work as possible in order to pay off my debt and build my savings.
I am grateful the paid work I’m doing for the City of Greenville is enjoyable and does not create stress. I also enjoy the people.
I have been working at transitioning from my habit of procrastination to doing now, not later. I’m getting better and better as the days go on.
And now God has gifted me with my wish for working half days most of the year, or at least half the year, and full time when special projects require it. This allows me the extra income I need to support myself, help others, and treat myself sometimes, specially the dine outs with my gal friends.
Half days off gives me the time to comfortably run errands (not Saturdays!), and take care of items on my personal to do list. I try to make Sundays my day of rest and relaxation.
What I really enjoy doing is reading, awake dreaming, writing about what inspires me, coffee with friends, and sometimes go for a drive. I have been away from my writing for a long time. I pray I stick with it now.
