It is the most important thing in your life, and it improves, or damages, your relationship to God, Jesus, and miracles.

Several years ago I decided to slow my life down.  I wanted true happiness, and I wanted it all the time, not just in select tidbits.  I began to get into conversations with people about how to create such a life.  One of the best suggestions I ever got was: slow it down.

Its a simple suggestion, but as you slow down what you do in life, the miracles speed up.  Silly, but true!  Your prayer speeds up, your relationships get better, and the progress you feel gets blisteringly fast.  It really does work that way.  You have changed your relationship with time.  Therefore God recognizes your priority change, and starts to change you.

I have gone through entire days, just praying every minute.  I talk to people through my ministries, I talk to business leaders, and I work on my own projects. Have I made any money?  No, but I’m moving toward success faster because of my priority change.  And the best part?  It feels absolutely awesome!

Have you been keeping lots of plans on the backburner, stuff to do once you’re older, or retired, or when you have more money?  Folks...those times don’t always come.  They just don’t.  All you’ve got is the now, so you must do absolutely only what you want to do from day to day.

Recently my projects have gotten really interesting.  It seems like I’m onto some great ideas.  But you know what?  I never would have gotten here were it not for the removal of several things that were really bothering me.  Now that I have changed my relationship with time, let God help me with things that I can’t do myself, and focused on the joy....life has gotten a lot better.

Not everyone in your life will understand what you’re doing.  If you make drastic changes, folks might worry about you, or try to change what you’re doing.  But you know what?  That is only the kind of indicator that comes up when you are on the right track!

Everybody wants miracles.  The fastest way to get them is to slow down everything!
