Busy, busy, busy, schedules...we all have them. Make sure your schedule is directed by God and not you. A God-directed schedule focuses on the needs of others and acknowledges His presence and plan. A self-directed schedule focuses on the needs of others but acknowledges the presence of self and self's plan. A person who's being directed by God realizes they could never deliver their part without

the assistance of many other people enabling them to do so. They are genuinely humble and appreciative. A person who's self-directed relies on their ability to accomplish and expects others to understand and accommodate them to achieve. Their apologies for oversights or being unavailable are wrapped in the excuse of being "so busy" doing what God has called them to do. When God directs schedules, He still expects good manners. Bad manners are as offensive as a cheap perfume. Make sure your schedule is directed by God and not you. Ask God, He will tell you. He wants you to be successful but you will never reach the level God has set up for you if you insist on directing your own schedule. Time to get real friend if you want to go higher...love you!
