The Power of the March

Somewhere, out of nothing noticeable, March became my power month.  After two months of a 04:40 alarm and a 21:30 bedtime, I was seeing growth, but wishing still for more time.  Instead of getting upset with time “lost” like I would have three years ago, I squeezed what I could out of February, completed some long-incomplete projects, and set my mind for a new month–a fresh and intentional start.  I opted for a powerful 31 days of March.

I have wonderful plans.  Oh, yes.  They include increases in reading, writing, studying the Word and relationships, and studying music theory with my students.  Oh, yes, and longer workouts, resting more fully, and enjoying my family more completely.  Just a few basic goals.

But before I roll my eyes at myself, I am stopping to engage my heart.  Why do I want increase?  Why must I aim so high?  Will this focus wear me out or build me up?  When power is sought, from where does it come?

Let the journey begin.

Watch for a few choosy book titles, exercise stories, Bible studies, success stories and homey events.

Success #1: I paid my March bills today.
Success #2: I e-mailed my sisters twice in two days.  “Dear Ladies…”
