The Making of a Day: The Foundation

It is just as I thought. You may want to read that previous thought before we get into this one.

Laying the foundation of my day with Godly material makes for a great foundation and firms up the rest of the day.  I’m going to try to explain that and the process over the next few posts.

The Contractor

At the beginning of my day, I start off talking to my contractor/builder.  He is the best one I will ever know of and I will never use another.  Funny.  He is the same contractor/builder that all strong people I know of use to build their days.

During our discussion, various points about the upcoming build are raised.  I let him know some of the concerns I have.  I let him know some of the good things I look forward to, or have had happen during the previous day.  If I’m frustrated at something I make sure he is aware of that too.

Thing is, He is such a good contractor that he never seems shocked about anything that I tell him.  He always has a way of just letting me know that he’s already noted it or made the changes or has a plan for it.  Amazing I tell ya.

I also make sure I let him know that HE is THE contractor and builder and I will try to do what he asks of me throughout the day.  He may just need to remind me of our talk at various times.

The Blueprint

After our discussion, We then turn to the blueprint that he has given to me.  He sent it to me via a text message.  He put a copy of it on the Internet as well.  We go over it together and he points out different things to me that I need to be paying attention to as we build the day.  Usually it’s a lot of very interesting things that I may not have caught before when we examined it. Sometimes, it’s things that I just don’t want to get into, but, he is the contractor and I’ve no choice but to listen.  Well, I have a choice, but I’ve built days without listening to him.  Not pretty.

That’s It?

That is pretty much all there is to laying a foundation for my day….so far.  The contractor/builder and the blueprint are also the materials that go into my foundation.  So far, since applying this to Me, my days are much better, much less stressful, and just easier to handle.  Granted, they are not perfect by any means, but, just don’t seem as bad.

Because of HIM
