sharing my agenda's issues...

(1/3) > >>

acomplishedartis:
Everybody that can communicate does have an agenda (an arrangement of daily activities, underlie by intentions and motives).

I have an agenda, you have an agenda and everybody have agendas, even if they write on it or not, in many ways we are like computers (really, and the smarter they get; we have a clearer example that we have no free-will).

On a daily basis I usually read, communicate with others, I work, sometimes try to do some art when I am ready, look for a certain topic or go there or over there, my point is that we all have do have schedules. It is easy to say that we need balance and that practice makes perfection, But


but lately things are not working the best for my time estimations (I tent to put dead lines on my self), I don't know, maybe I am trying to do too much in little time or putting too much attention in something that probably at this time of my life could be not a priority, like for example; at this present age of mine (25) I find a priority to research long and study topics that are usually taken for granted before huge compromises arise and other more important and necessary topics come into my priorities... But when I get too much into it, or whatever other activity,I take less care of other things. Then if I try to do a little bit of everything each day; I advance very slowly in every activity. Lately I am getting a little bit frustrated.


I do remember my self everyday that I have no free will, God is in control and  all my steps and times are just as they are spooned to be , I mean, I do have peace and are not in hurry most of the time, however, I don't let my mind in random for very long but try to use well my time, it is just a strange place where I find my self right now, I know...

Anyway, before I start talking random, I want to ask for help, any advance will be fine, like for meassure times better, or how to progress better in activities or projects, whatever works for you, it would be nice to listen to others opinions or secret weapons.

Gina:
I can totally empathize with you, Moises.  My daughter can too!  I can't really offer any advice, but I do agree that you're absolutely correct in that you're right where God wants you at all times.  There are so many things and people vying for our attention, ya know?  It makes a person's head spin almost.  Maybe you could ask God for wisdom?  That's what I do.

James 1:5
If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.  (I take that to mean that God doesn't find fault with us for lacking wisdom and is more than eager to give us wisdom when we ask.  Let not your heart be troubled.  ;))

Bless you, Moises!   :)

 thanks Gina, I am going to take that as my priority


Moises

Dave in Tenn:
Moises, it seems to me that much of the 'good stuff' comes when we've 'prepared' ourselves, but not when we are 'looking for it'.  A breakthrough in understanding may come while we are dilligently studying/meditating...but it may come later when something seemingly unrelated brings things into focus.  You may not always get the 'flash' without the 'toil', but if you're not willing to forgo your 'schedule', you may miss the 'flash'.

I've heard a lot of songwriters talk about how they work.  Almost all devote a certain amount of time (either daily or in large chunks as a retreat) to their craft.  But that doesn't garuntee results.  You always have to be 'ready' to drop what you're doing and be receptive to inspiration.

Our minds are able to work conciously and unconciously.  I can't articulate it, but I have the sense that this is a way we are 'yoked together' with Him.  We go about our lives doing what we need to do, and what interests us, and trying to learn and be obedient.  But in our 'innermost' these experiences and skills and struggles knit together in ways beyond our efforts and concious understanding.

For whatever any of that is worth, you just have to make ongoing decisions about what is important, attainable, possible, worthwhile, etc.  Then be willing, like Paul was sometimes, to be content with 'wanting to do' what you can't do yet.  (Rom. 1)  And at the same time, willing to drop everything YOU planned for what He has for you.  If your plans were good, you can get back to them later. 

If all that's gobbledeegook, what can I say?   :P

Hi Moises

What you are experiencing is entirely normal. ;D

“The future always comes too fast and in the wrong order.”  :D
― Alvin Toffler

When you realise that is how it is supposed to be, then maybe you might be less critical of your abilty to cope. ~ :)

Nothing is wrong, so, keep on keeping on!~ :)
