“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” I’m not sure where that quote originated or if it has been medically proven to be true. I actually don’t like apples and the thought of eating an apple a day is nauseating.
My “apple a day” quote and reminder is that “a blog post a day keeps the stress at bay.” I am a writer. I always have been. I have my best prayer time with God writing out my prayers and pouring out my heart to Him on paper. I am most inspired when I can write what is on my heart and picture someone else reading it and being encouraged and inspired, even equipped to fight the good fight and finish the race.
However, at times, it is a challenge to keep up with the daily blog posts, especially when I’m traveling. I can get overwhelmed by distractions, confused by Satan’s advances, and lost in the busyness of life that I don’t take the time I need to write to you and express my thoughts to God.
I have found that if I take time every day to spend alone with God in prayer and write the blog posts, life flows a lot more smoothly and keeps the stress at bay. It is easy to procrastinate and set it aside, but on this Wake-up Wednesday, I encourage you to take the time to do what you know you need to do – spend time alone with God and work on whatever is easy to procrastinate.
