You can stop chasing what you say you’re going to do, and actually do it!!

Because if you’re honest with yourself, chaos and calm goes hand in hand. It really is all dependent on how you handle your every day.

With only 6 days until the new year, at some point, you have to get real about what you are doing.

Now being real doesn’t mean you are cursing at yourself because of short-term failures. No more exclamation points to signify your shortcomings.

Get in the groove.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Be methodical in the madness!

If you don’t plan, all you have is chaos. However, chaos can turn to calm when you are methodical in the madness.

We are celebrating the holidays at a popular destination, Disney.

Whether or not you like Disney, I want you to get to the real picture.

Take the first malfunction; a lost shoe on the ride with no spares in the area for a 2-year-old. How can you have magic if you don’t have shoes. You want to walk everywhere!! And mind you, this was the first ride.

We were told if they found the shoe (which we knew was there because we could see it from the ride), we could come back and check at 11pm when the park closes and pick it up.

So what did we do? We headed over to the ride, speaking to a total of 7 cast members, all of whom confirmed what the person had said before.

Following over a 30-minute wait, up walks a higher-ranked cast member. Security, I think. He asked us nicely what we were doing. Various children starting sharing what we were told and that’s why we are still here.

Oh but wait!! He didn’t see this one coming. My daughter and her boyfriend had just finished the ride before close. They could see the shoe. So we knew it was there.

Quickly it became known to the gentleman also. We explained the situation again, and his response was, “Come with me, and we will get this shoe.”

Yes, a little magic in Disney really does happen. In less than five minutes, the shoe was safely delivered with my daughter carrying it. The missing slipper had been found.

Now it doesn’t matter why the other cast members couldn’t find it. But what does matter, we knew what was possible in what seemed to be an impossible situation.

It was the methodical pursuit that won the victory in the madness.

Your season may not be a missing slipper, size six brown loafer that can be easily retrieved with intentional effort.

The key here to remember, is intentionality.

You can get to where you want to go regardless of the season by being intentional. That creates the method to the madness that slows down the frustration directed toward the failures and alerts the hearts to adopt what’s possible.

PRAYER: May your heart delight in the impossible when you take the steps that make it possible.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
