One thing I’ve learned over the years is that structure brings me peace.
For a long time, I lived feeling like I was always trying to catch up to my own life. Always moving. Always behind. Always trying to get to the next thing.
As we move into a new season—and y’all know I love the fall 🍂—here are three things I’m carrying with me:
1. Be intentional about your prayer life.
Prayer doesn’t have to be perfect. Sometimes it’s crying, releasing, sitting quietly, or simply saying, “Lord, this is where I am.” For me, prayer helps regulate the internal war and gives me a place to release what I’m carrying. Our Father can handle it.
2. Organize one small area of your life.
Don’t try to fix everything at once. Start with your calendar, finances, home, schedule, or simply write things down and get them out of your head. Clarity often begins with seeing where you are.
3. Wear your goals loosely.
Have the vision. Make the plan. Set the goal. But keep putting it before the Lord. Sometimes the plan changes. Sometimes the timing changes. God still has the best strategy.
One thing I appreciate about being in my 50s is that I’m not waiting for the perfect season to enjoy my life.
I’m choosing prayer.
I’m choosing structure.
I’m choosing peace.
I’m choosing joy.
I don’t want to spend my whole life waiting to live.
I’m choosing to enjoy the life I have now. 🍂
