Don’t you hate it when your life gets off track unexpectedly and all of a sudden you wake up one morning to realize things are way out of hand.  You’re not motivated, you want to be lazy and you feel powerless.  No matter how hard you try in your own strength to “start over” and say this is the day I’m going to get refocused and conquer my fears and weaknesses, you come to realize by the end of the day, you’ve failed once again.   I don’t know how many thousands of times I’ve encountered this vicious cycle in my life, but just a few weeks ago it happened once again.  The good news is that I’ve finally come to a place in my life where I’ve developed personal awareness.  When I get sidetracked, I now make a conscious decision to reach out to someone and ask for help to get me back on track.

Getting back on track for me was a two step process.  First, I called my personal Christian Life Coach and schedule some time to work with her.  Through the coaching process I gained clarity on the steps I needed to take to get focused.  The second step was to take action.  For me to move forward that meant earnestly seeking God and identifying who I really am.  This is the scripture God gave me.  “But the fruit of the Spirit is love joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”  Galatians 5:22 & 23  No matter how many times I face defeat and discouragement in my life, I am able to overcome all obstacles when I seek God’s word.  One thing I can say for certain is every time I go to the bible I find truth about who I am in Christ and my spirit comes alive.

So I would like to ask you today, what steps will you take next time when you realize you need to get back on track?
