Time Management

I LEARN TO ORGANIZE MY TIME AND EFFORTS WISELY.

Do you ever feel crowded, tense, rushed, and pushed for time? Do you often breathlessly arrive late for work, meetings, or appointments? If so this indicates a lack of organization.

We can learn to organize our time and energy so that we do not waste them. We will show courtesy by being on time wherever it is that we go. We can establish good work habits so that we do not procrastinate and fail to do the things we need to do at the appointed time. Habitual tardiness indicates careless attitudes regarding others. The word careless (look at it as care-less) means without care. Such attitudes show lack of respect for others.

If you feel crowded and tense and find yourself hurrying here and there at the last minute, or later, you are not using your time to good advantage.

Through tuning in to the wisdom of God, you can accomplish much more than you have believed yourself capable of. You can expend your energy so wisely that you are not breathless, hurried, and tired. Instead, you will feel fresh, vital, and alive.

Look to God for help in using your time and energy to good advantage and in a wise and loving way.

For there shall be a time there for every purpose and for every work. (Ecclesiastes 3:17)

Your Divine Plan

By Rev. Joyce Kramer

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
