While I as doing the 31 Days to a Better Blog challenge, having the time to do the tasks was easy. It was mid-summer, and the only obligation I had was work.  But that time has ended.  The boys have started school, which means I have to go over homework at night.  I have started school, which means that I have to make time to study.  I’ll be resuming Transformed, which is the Youth  Bible Study I teach weekly at my church.  I’ve also decided that instead of reading my Bible haphazardly, I’m going to get up EVERY morning and spend 15 minutes of quiet time with God.

It’s one thing to SAY that I’ll do this.  In order to actually DO it,  however, will require something more.  That something is discipline.  Meaning that I need to actually get up at 5:45. Before everyone else. If I don’t, there is no quiet time.  I have to strongly encourage myself to do it. Nobody is going to do it for me!  I need a personal quiet time trainer!    There are benefits to this quiet time, which I’ll talk about in another post.

I’ve got a lot on my plate.  It doesn’t overwhelm me.  Well, it won’t if I get this discipline thing going.  Gotta just DO it.

Is there something that you’ve trained yourself to do so that now it’s automatic?  How did you do it?  Is there an area of your life where you need discipline? What is it?

Pay no attention to the next sentence (I would explain, but I don’t feel like typing all that. Just ignore it! lol): Why does the confining upgrade grade the disorder?
