Everyday Intentional with Bethany Blakeney

Our Nature is to crave our purpose and our meaning in life.

Our general purpose that we all have is to Glorify God! But we also have specific assignments. Things that we have been born to do that God has called us to do. Though we are all called to Glorify God; He has a very specific way for me to do it.

I think sometimes we overcomplicate this. I know I did. And still do. There are days when I question myself and my abilities. Oh I say I’m questioning God, but really I’m questioning myself. And MY lack of faith sprouts its ugly head.

But knowing your purpose clarifies 3 challenges we all face in our lives. It Clarifies our Priorities, Uncertainties and Difficulties.

This is a lesson I am learning one day at a time 44 years in the makin. So yeah my entire life.

I have this need to be the encourager and coach and at some point I have to learn to be silent.

It happened today.

I know right? Can you believe it.

I’m learning the value of silence and the fact that everyone is not always wanting to be encouraged by me or coached or have anything to do with what I know or have to say.

And part of that stems from my desire to compete in life and my desire to be better and “always learn the lesson”

So Here I stand before you today IRONICALLY learning a 30 year old lesson.

I want to talk to you about entering new places and seasons and purposes. People always say, if it’s important to you, you will find the time. And that is so true.

It’s not a cliche’ it’s reality.

Whether you are finding time with your husband or children or other relationships; if it’s important to you, you simply make time.

If I tell you that I love Christ and don’t have specific time daily to meet with Him…. I’m certain that you would know my relationship with Him is not as important to me. Because simply put as my daddy would always say. “The proof is in the eating of the pudding”.

Let me tell you why I wanted to record this episode. It’s so you will understand that when you start something new and unfamiliar, it can feel easier to just not be able to find the time. Especially when you are doubting your ability. We use the cop out of time. When time is the one thing we cannot afford to waste.

Understand that everything has a learning curve. I hate not being great at things. It makes me uncomfortable. But I was never great at anything the very first time I started it.

It seems easier to quit and easier to give the excuse of TIME…. Time is the ONLY TRUE REASON to do ANYTHING we do; Especially as Believers. “You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” James 4:14

Until next time.

Go All In and Live Full Out.

Action Creates Clarity. The More action you take the more clear that you become on what you are doing and what you need to do to get there.

We all know that the obstacle is the way. The speed at which you fail is the speed at which you will succeed! Crazy when you say it out loud I know! 

There is no way around it. When you get your mind game strong, failure becomes the yard stick. Without Failure we will never know what is working and what is not.

We fail every day! 

As Moms, wives, HUMANS!!! 

How do you want to show up every day? That is something you can control!
