All of us are given skills and talents by God – either at birth or through the lessons He teaches us throughout our lives.
I am convinced that when God was giving out the talents of organization, self-discipline, and time management I overslept. There were also several other gifts for which I am sure my Guardian Angel neglected to wake me, but I am not going to go into those right now.
Subsequently, now that I am 40 something and still over-sleeping when it comes to lessons on those topics, God has been hitting me between the eyes with a 2×4 gently providing me with the desire and the lessons I require to learn how to tame the chaos and disorder in my life, in my body, in my schedule, and in my house. But given that I am hard-headed and difficult to awaken, those ever so gentle pushes are beginning to resemble direct orders.
