I am convicted.

Woodland refreshed me -- it sharpened my goals and dreams, helped me to realize what I need to work on, and enabled me to see what truly matters. Faith, family, and fully living life; spending days together while living out your God-given purpose. Being a light for Christ; passionate, intentional, and bold.

And I am convicted of several things.

Media
media
I waste too much time online. While my work is almost completely on the computer, I do waste hours of time that could be spent doing so many other things. Time that is lost because of my lack of discipline. I'm convicted to set guidelines for myself regarding how much is too much, as well as set specific limits for media use.

Time
time
My time management skills are severely lacking. I get done what I need to, but usually not in the right order. I procrastinate and put aside what should be done first. Work before play; necessary things need to be accomplished first. I am convicted to set aside time to do what I need to first, as well as structure my days in ways pleasing to my Savior -- not wasting the precious gift of life He's given me.

Food
food
I'm in good shape -- I exercise regularly (think 15+ hours of ballet a week), but, I do not eat the healthiest. I am convicted to eat mindfully. (it's helpful now that our garden + raspberry bushes are fully blooming :)

Faith
faith
I haven't been putting the Lord first in my life. I don't want to go through my days putting God in a box -- Lord, help me not to get so wrapped up in my own world that I forget who created it. I am convicted to live in JOY - Jesus FIRST, others second, you (myself) last. I am convicted to spend time praying or being in the Word every morning, as well as living my days wholly for Christ. I am convicted to live completely for my Savior, fully surrendered; I love Him because He loved me first.

This is my journey; this is what I need to do. I'm convicted and encouraged, because I see what areas of my life I need to fully s. I know I can't do it on my own -- but when I am weak, then I am strong, because HE is perfect strength. Would definitely appreciate prayer -- so grateful for all of you!

Loads of love,
Hannah
