the story
Details overwhelmed me.
Deadlines were missed.
And my days were not unified.
The systems I tried left me stifled in the structure. And worst of all? The moments were frantic and I rarely remembered God. I wanted to do my best work in school without forgetting Him in the process, and so far? Nothing was working.
Planners either left me overwhelmed or uninspired.
I needed a method...
Where My mind could breathe,
My deadlines could be kept,
And my heart did not forget HIM.
The only thing I knew starting out was I liked.
I carried around a binder with blank paper to every class, and tested layouts and designs like a mad scientist. After a year—the method clicked into a place—and I knew it was time to take to action. I had to share what I had created with the world.
The semester I committed to using the planner method I had created, I was astounded by its impact.
In a limited time frame,
I accomplished concrete goals I thought impossible,
while being less forgetful of the presence of God.
Each day I was more likely to remember Him, jotting down the moments I saw Him. Taking my projects and tasks seriously, and giving them my heart, welcomed God into them. It was a breakthrough.
I ended up with a handcrafted planner I call the “moment” planner. I’ve learned a secret. If I can devote the MOST SIMPLE and redundant moments in my day to God I actually can give Him most of my day.
Godspeed,
Em
