Continuing from last month, after you've organized your work habits, then it's time to move on to your spiritual life!

Respond to your season in life. This simply means that we all have seasons that we go through. Knowing what your season is and embracing it is key to staying organized. For instance, if you are a young mother and work full time in a job, it would not be wise to try to start a new business. Embrace your season of Motherhood and working full time as enough to attain at one time. Trying to do too much by resisting your season can be devastating.

Guard diligently your priorities. Priorities are the stuff of life. They are what give your life focus and meaning. Without knowing and guarding our priorities, we will flounder, flop and fly in all directions. Recognizing, establishing, planning, living out your priorities will add direction, purpose, solidification to our schedules, lives and spirits.

Know your purpose in life. Purpose is that inner depth in our heart and soul where we have an intuitive sense of who we are, where we came from, and where we are going. God's sovereignty over all of life means that our lives are divinely ordained and significant. We are not an accident!…God made us with a history and a story that nobody else has. He put us in a distinctive time and place in history and has given us unique experiences in our life. God made us with a unique set of abilities and talents, gifts and potentialities. He has given us opportunities to develop those gifts; thus we develop the interests, desires and dreams that are solely our own. Having purpose means that something motivates us to action. When we focus on that action, it orders our schedule and draws us closer to God.

Take a Sabbath rest.

The concept of Sabbath originates from the Ancient Scriptures but has since become a common practice among people of many faiths and persuasions, in both their personal and business lives.

• Is a cessation of work. Sabbath is doing a different set of activities on your day off than you do during the other five or six work days. You stop producing and start enjoying. Sabbath is taking time off to "smell the roses" and, for 24 hours, put our fast-forward way of life on pause.

• Provides a boundary. Sabbath brings closure to your week and gives you new energy for the following week. Everyone needs recharging. And everyone needs a reminder. Pick and commit to a day that creates a regular cycle of work and rest.

• An antidote to workaholism. Has there ever been a time of greater business? Chuck Swindoll, a popular speaker, says: "Busyness. . .our answer to pressure is to run faster, accomplish more. Busyness is a sign of success and importance. We attempt to impress people with a full schedule. We express aloud for relief from all we live under; but the truth is, if someone provided a way out, we wouldn't know what to do. Busyness is a way of life."

The KEY: Being ORGANIZED IN YOUR SPIRIT means being able to live in a consistent rest and contentment.
