Have Fun Even on the Not So Fun Days!

Kathleen Norris makes a great point on how we should find God even in the mundane, everyday tasks. Getting ready for work? Washing dishes? Cleaning house? Driving to work? Doing something creative? Listen to some worship music or listen to the Bible. Incorporate God into everything and then it does not feel as much like a task but rather a time to worship Him. 

I was feeling creative and needed to take a break to do something. I felt inspired to create a Prayer Journal. So I hopped on Canva and started creating while I also listened to worship music. I ended up publishing it on Amazon so that I could have them print and send it to me. I received my first copy this week and was so excited to use it. Since getting it in the mail I have been using it to create prayer lists and prayers while I listen to worship music. It honestly has made an impact on how I pray daily. 

I also followed Kathleen’s advice, and I created a sticky note that says PLAY on it; I also added, “Tasks can be fun! Especially when you bring God into it.” I put it on my computer, which is where I work most of the time. This reminder helped me to bring God into my times of work. I would listen to a Christian playlist while working. I am actually doing this as I write. 

Putting these into practice this week really allowed me to focus on the positive. Yes life can be stressful and overwhelming but God is always near. God is always here to bring peace. I was able to find joy even on the difficult days! Praise be to him!
