As I was spending my time with God this morning, I told him I hear others talk about multiple streams of income and how others should do this. That topic has frustrated me, as I’ve never felt like I had an immediate second stream that I could earn money from.

I make some off of surveys and apps, but I didn’t want to get so engrossed in this that I lose focus on what’s important. My mission field and calling: my writing.

I’ve been there in the past, when I was pushing so hard to earn a bit from a second side hustle, that it ended up monopolizing and taking up so much of my time. My book sat, everything sat. I’m sad to say, that my book sat for about 10-15 years, before I realized that it needed to be made more of a priority.

God has placed that on my heart, even more so now, to keep working on it. I work on being in it, every day, even if its just for a short time. The biggest days I need improvement is the weekend! Too easy for me to just keep pushing play on another episode of “One Tree Hill”.

He brought this back to my mind this morning, as I spoke with him about this concern: Slow and steady. The tortoise and the hare. The rabbit race. I already felt like such a weight was taken off!

Slow and steady wins the race, every time. The story never changes – the tortoise always wins!

As I sat there thinking about that, I realized it applies to everything! Housework, writing, my home, decluttering. If I keep pressing towards the mark, even in small pieces, I will win and finish the race!

It’s about the obedience, the perseverance, not giving up. I will not grow weary in well doing!
