Don't let the world's distractions deter you from your blessed future! Stay focused on God's promises, and on your goals within them.
What goals has God set for your life? Take a minute to intentionally set your day with them in mind.

God wants me to be creative. I CANNOT deny that. Otherwise He wouldn't have given me SO MANY CREATIVE TALENTS! In recovery, I MUST REMEMBER THAT as my biggest goal-- finally being free & healthy enough TO use them. I MUST schedule them INTO my future, AND remodel my apartment TO FACILITATE MAXIMUM CREATIVITY. The lack of that is WHY I've been "redirecting" my creative impulse TO FOOD & MEALPLANNING. Honestly dude if you really want to "eat intuitively" without obsessing, STOP MAKING FOOD YOUR FOCUS!! Do what GOD MADE YOU TO DO, and GLORIFY HIM IN ALL OF IT. ♡

GUIDANCE FOR TODAY...

+ Obsessively "planning for the future" is a futile attempt to "control" what is INHERENTLY UNCONTROLLABLE, because it's in GOD'S HANDS, NOT OURS! You cannot "prepare/ plan for" the unexpected & unpredictable, but you CAN ironically "expect TO be surprised"! The ONLY WAY to be "ready" for WHATEVER hits & happens is to TRUST IN GOD & RELY ON HIS GUIDANCE, IN THE MOMENT!! The future is GOD'S realm; WE ONLY have RIGHT NOW. Yes, set goals for the future, but stop trying to choreograph all the steps BEFORE you know how God is going to dance with you!! LET GO of the "need" to have "everything figured out," so "everything IS predictable." You NEED to learn to ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES. Be prudent, not careless; be flexible, not rigid; and PRAY ALWAYS!!
