Last night, we had an Iron Rose Sister Ministries Board Meeting.  After we finish each monthly meeting, I am always amazed when reminded of all that God has made possible in the previous month.

On a daily basis, overwhelmed feelings flood my mind, but once a month, at the Board Meetings, I am reminded of the truth that growth is a process, recognized at milestones.

On this Wake-up Wednesday, take a moment to create a milestone: a marker of growth from the past week, month, year, or whatever length of time you choose to recognize the process of growth that God has brought about in your life.

I travel a lot.  And I have a lot of friendships in many places.  I give God the thanks for that blessing.

I also get distracted a lot.  And easily.  Can't you tell from what already appears to be a change of topic?  But it's not.

With as many people and things that call for my attention, it is vitally important for me to dwell in the moment - to be present with whom I'm talking or stay focused on what I'm doing.

Last night, I was reminded of this while at a church activity of the Northwest Church of Christ in Houston.  I was talking with a lady there while I was also trying to respond to my sister via text message.  I realized that I was not present for either of them, so I decided to continue the conversation with the lady with whom I was speaking and then, a short bit later, I was able to take the time to respond to my sister.

How many times has that happened to you?  How can you dwell in the moment on this Transformational Tuesday?
