My warning lights


WARNING, WARNING, WARNING Just like a warning light to any gauge in a car, my life's warning lights are going off and it's time to pull over and refuel. There are some simple but extremely practical signs that remind me that it's time to pull over and recalibrate:

1) I can always tell the order of my life by the order of my computer desktop. If my desktop is crazy, icons everywhere, some even overlapping others that's usually how my life is going. Oh I'm productive and I'm busy but too many things overlapping, and the important things easily get missed.

2) Blogging, When I'm blogging it means I'm thinking, when I'm thinking it means I'm finding rest. It's been difficult to find rest lately. I'm talking about that rest in my heart and my mind when I can easily discern the voice of God speaking to my life. If I can give you a better picture it would be like this: at this level of rest it literally feels like God is speaking constantly to you. I'm talking life defining stuff, things that you would not normally think of, things that you could not think of on your own.

3) Physically my body will start to tell me it's time to rest: I know it's not in the bible but sometimes I think God uses a cold to slow me down because sometimes that's the only way I will.

Last year at this time I was burnt and I would continue to ignore the warning lights. I'm not ignoring them, now. Matter of fact I do things a lot differently now. We all have our kryptonite, can't deny it or ignore it. Don't ignore the warning lights when they are blinking in your life. What are your warning lights? Care to share, please comment below, would love to get some feedback on this topic.
