Compress Time

Listen to the Audio

Here is June's message and the video for this month contains the new format with some action steps to take for the month. 

I view every month like an opportunity for a fresh start. 

Here is a short summary of what we go through in the video...

• What went well over the last month and what were ways you saw God showing up?
• What did you learn over the last month?
• Examining the fruit from our lives in all of the different areas...
• Pick the one area that you feel led to work on the most for this month and we are going to install a filter or standard that guides the daily decision making for that area.

Here are the different filters to choose from...

Abundant Life - God is doing continually good for me and I do continually good for others. 

Soul - I am growing in positive emotions and using negative emotions as feedback

Body - My body is God’s temple.

Finances - I am seeking God’s kingdom first by valuing relationships over money and being a good steward.

Family - I am bringing out the best in my family.

Order -I am maintaining everything in position including myself in the light. 

Time - I am focusing on God’s plan and producing things that last.

Purpose - I am seeking God’s unique plan for my life.

Community - I am aligned with God’s kingdom, self-managed, doing my special work, and contributing to others. 

Once a filter is chosen, write it at the top of your journal every day... I like to do it before bed. This serves to keep it on the top of our mind and filter the decisions we make every day. 

After choosing a filter, pick the corresponding table turner to practice each day. Here are the table turners...

• Abundant Life - Daily Communion
• Soul - The Imagination - work on mastering the images that are playing on the inside. Many negative emotions start from negative imaginations.
• Body - Daily Communion Workout + Have a Song in your heart all throughout the day
• Finances - Partnership - Make God your financial partner and make all financial decisions with God and with spouse/any business partners. 
• Family - Cherishing - Cherishing takes stepping into their shoes and developing understanding to keep them from pain and give them the desires of their heart. 
• Order -Honoring authority - It is hard to create order when people are rebellious. Focus on honoring the people around you more. 
• Time - Rest in your soul - We are all way more productive while at rest on the inside. Being rushed, hurried, frantic, and out of control steals time. 
• Purpose - Scribing + Skill development - Scribe and read out loud from the Bible, journal from the heart, and develop new skills. 
• Community - Connection - Find ways to connect more with the people around you. Sharing meals together is one of the best ways.

Compressed Time

Recently I was reminded that more gets done in compressed time. When we put a deadline on something more gets done in a shorter amount of time. I was reminded of this while recording the Daily Communion videos. The videos had gotten a little longer lately and I had been seeking God on how to reduce the time. After praying about this the next morning when I started recording the video, I had an alert that my computer was about to run out of batteries, so I had to squeeze it in faster and was able to shave about 8 minutes off the normal time. 

This is something I have implemented off and on throughout the years, but I would like to become more consistent at compressing time every day. 

So my filter for this month is going to be... Compress time

I am praying for you.
