We really appreciate your patience during our "downtime"
over the past 3 weeks. I
did not realize that I would not be able to enter posts or administer changes to the blog
while I was out of the country. And even though I had an assistant here
in the US, there were still technical issues that had to be resolved.
Thank you for understanding and tolerating our growing pains. With that
said I would like to introduce the Triple L Club's new format and pray that
there will be no more glitches, thus allowing for consistent posts and comments
throughout the week.
During our intro posts, we
reviewed the 3 Triple L components Living, Life & Loving It (Live,
Life, Love). Each week (on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) you will
find a post on one of the Ls for the week.
LIVE
Living
is more than just waking up every morning. I don't know about you, but
some days that very act of getting started is harder than other days.
What keeps you going, or motivated to begin another day? How do you set
your agenda and maintain it throughout the day? What catapults you to
that place of living (for the day) instead of merely going through the motions? One
mistake I've made is not taking those first few minutes upon awakening and
acknowledging the source of life...GOD. Thanking Him for another day to
live and experience life is something I should never be too busy to do. Secondly, it is so important to take the time
to remember that everything I face can wait a few minutes...that it is so
important to start my day with an attitude of gratitude and reflection:
a word of prayer, scripture and reflection (devotion). No matter how packed
the agenda is, this time with our Creator sets the tone for the entire day.
I didn't always do this, and sometimes even now I don't do everything right
away. But I make it a point, before my feet hit the floor, to wiggle my
toes, move my limbs, and whisper a word of thanks to GOD for another day! And before get to work, usually during the ride, I commune with God.
"All of that sounds good (those images above)…but HOW you might ask…it’s not as easy as it sounds". As adults, our lives have become complicated with the responsibilities of managing our lives, parenting, maintaining relationships and jobs, and so many other things. God knows and loves you. He is here to help you and enrich your life. You are not in this alone! Start each day with an open mind and a sincere heart, acknowledging Him and his importance to you. It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day hustle and bustle, but believe me, when you start your day with God, maneuvering becomes much easier. You accomplish more and better equipped to handle the unexpected. Even when things are rough, it’s good to know that the Creator of the universe has your back! God honors your faith and trust in Him and appreciates your desire and effort in developing a true relationship with Him. Therefore, determine to start your day off right and give God some time... START each day with GOD!

Keep Living For God !!!
