Happy Mid-Year!
theophilus June 30th, 2008
It seems like just yesterday that we started the new year, yet here we are at the midpoint. I’m finding myself trying to look back over the past six months and figure out whether I’ve done what God expected of me.
Sometimes, I wish God would give us a performance evaluation. We all have to suffer through them on the job; and our spouses, if they care, will give us one at home from time to time. But, God really doesn’t call us in for a chat, does he? He doesn’t give us a sheet of paper with three’s, four’s and five’s circled; or a list of strengths and weaknesses; or suggestions on how we can improve. We really don’t have performance metrics to go by.
So, how do we know how we are doing?
I guess it comes from prayer; learning to really listen to the Trinity; accepting the help of Mary and the saints and angels; and having a divine relationship with those in heaven who know everything about what we do, think, and say. It comes from being so in tune with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, that we just know we are on the right track.
I usually don’t give my life a six-month review, but this year I think I might. I may even try to shorten it and just try to figure out what God wants me to do over the next quarter. And then I need to focus on accomplishing as much of his agenda for me as I can.
No distractions, no excuses.
Happy Mid-Year!
