Spiritual what?
Welcome to February - the month we have all officially given up on our New Years resolutions because Valentine’s Day candy has been out since December 26th and who can say no to heart shaped candy and gummy hot lips?
But don’t worry, don’t beat your self up, you are not a failure or a loser or anything else you may be calling yourself right now but you may have focused on the wrong thing. Maybe your goal or resolution was like a steak diner when, in reality, you are still needing some basic breastmilk. Maybe before you can fix all the things, lose all the weight and discover all those miles you need to step back and build a firm foundation - maybe to fix all the things you just need to focus on one thing.
Enter Spiritual Disciplines…
Simply put, spiritual disciplines are things we do in our everyday lives in order to grow and stay close to Jesus. There are small and simple activities we use to book end our days, to start on the right foot and to have the strength and wisdom to take on all the things that are thrown our way.
Spiritual Disciplines are the foundation of our lives and if we skip out on that foundation it doesn’t matter what book or dirt or coach or new hot thing we do, nothing will fix it.
But don’t worry, I am not just going to through information at you and then leave you on your own to figure it out (cause we tend to do that don’t we?) Nope, we are going to walk through and learn together. We are going to look at these simple things we can and should be doing and simplify them even more because if you are anything like me you do not need complicated but you do need Jesus.
I promise you, whatever you are going through, whatever struggle you are trying to overcome, intentionally planning your day around some of these disciplines will help. It will. I promise.
But first things first. I need to convince you that you need these but I also need to convince you have time to do these things. So here is my first little gift to you - a spiritual disciplines inventory. It’s pretty self explanatory but it’s basically a little worksheet that will help you see where you are at and where all your time is going (hello the real housewives binge session!)
Let’s work through this together shall we? Head over to @the. rowehouse on intagram to follow and learn along with us!
