Let's Talk!
Cold temperatures and windy days- If you ask me how I feel about them, my gut-reaction would be… Not great. I have to be really intentional about incorporating moments of gratitude, self-care, and activities that bring joy to my life during the winter months. If I don’t, you will definitely see me dragging my feet as lethargy begins to take over my body and mind. I will be walking in the chilly fog of winter, setting my sights on being unproductive, and a season of “hermitude”. You may think I am being a bit dramatic, but truthfully, I am not. The cold season really does impact me if I let it. As I thought about my perception of winter, it occurred to me that I must also share with you how this same perspective relates to your lifestyle. We have two options in this life we have been blessed to live. Option #1- We walk around in the fog of relationships, work stress, poor eating habits, and the bitterness of not enough time and too much to do. OR Option #2- We choose to actively and intentionally participate in striving toward a lifestyle focused on God, our unique set of talents, and the simple moments God gives to us to enjoy on a daily basis. These are our options. I think sometimes we get stagnant in the lives we live and allow the “weather” to dictate our feelings and our decisions for longer than it should. So today, I want to encourage you to select Option #2 and lean on God today and all He has equipped you with in order to live your life fully. Choose not to let the physical weather or the weather of life dictate how you will live today. Get out of the fog and live the lifestyle you were meant to live. Yah, cold weather can definitely make me lethargic if I let it; but today I am choosing to see the beautiful white colors of the season, embrace the scent of crispness, and appreciate the preparation of the Spring that will come from this. Yes, I am choosing to not be worn out by the weather, and rather thankful for God giving me another day to live. Brittany Pruess
