There are days when I can get really anxious and unfocused and frustrated. I have so much to do that I don't know where to start. A dozen projects I can work on. Today I woke up that way: thinking about current events, my long list of work projects, and personal projects.
But then I sat myself down and prayed and studied God's Word for a few moments. Then I walked around praying in the Holy Spirit. I quickly understood that for the last couple of weeks I stepped off the path of where God was leading me. I took my eyes off. I spent time working on the things that I KNEW He had asked me to do (even though I didn't feel like it) and immediately, peace settled in, the fogginess in my brain lifted and the heaviness in my stomach melted.
It was like I could think again. And see. Clearly.
The nudge from Holy Spirit gently reminded me that when I am doing what God asked me to do - nothing else - then I stay in His peace. Even menial "work" tasks bring joy and peace.
Feeling discombobulated or out of sorts? Stop for as long as you need to and get back in alignment with the path Father has set out before you.
Amen.

I've been away for some time. Major changes. Launched a new business (www.paolalane.com), lots of personal growth...now I'm ready to connect with other Kingdom entrepreneurs for a mastermind/mentoring group. The Locals platform is where this will be hosted.
If you are a business owner that is looking to improve your business skills while first being rooted and grounded in the things of the Kingdom of God and desire to fine tune your ear and heart to the voice of the Father, then reach out.
This group will be free at this time but limited to 5 participants. I will act as a FACILITATOR - not an instructor. The goal is for everyone to contribute and learn from each other.

I'm a very introspective person. Even the littlest things I encounter in my day cause me to ponder and think deeply. This can be a drain on my emotions. The Psalms of King David are so relatable to me because one day I can be standing firm, confident, and shouting the praises of God, and the next day wondering why I'm even living - but I also come back to I praise God anyway in the midst of my darkest questions.
Mondays are intended to be reserved for study of the Word and time in His Presence. But my best intentions often get bushed back with pending issues with the business. Yet this morning, I was determined to reclaim my Mondays, and as I sit here with my Bible, pen, and paper - a thought fluttered by about all the work I could be doing and I quickly swatted it down because I NEED THIS DAY TO BE A BETTER ME. I need this day to do business better, to interact with family, friends, and customers with grace and mercy.
How profoundly it hit me that to care for our spirit and soul is of ...
