Chronos Time v. Kairos Time

ORIGINAL POST 6/15/2021

REVISED AND REPOSTED:

Last week on the blog I discussed the difference between busy work v life’s work and how a large percentage of our time on earth will be spent working, so it’s important to make sure you are doing your life’s work and not just busy work. If you missed the post, be sure to check it out.

This week I want to explore the definition of time and go a little deeper on the topic of how we spend our time. I recently became more aware of the concept of two types of time, Kairos Time and Chronos Time. 

According to Wikipedia, Kairos is an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical, proper or opportune moment or time for action while Chronos refers to chronological or sequential time.

REVISED AND REPOSTED: 
ORIGINAL BLOG POSTED ON 6/1/2021

A couple of years ago, I was on an interview and I was asked, “What do you think is the difference between a good idea and God’s idea?”  The interviewer felt like all good things come from God so if it’s a good idea then move forward with it. 

At the time, I didn’t have a clear point of view of a good idea versus a God idea, but several months later it became crystal clear what the difference was. So in this blog post, I will share the revelation that I received regarding a good idea v. God idea.

As entrepreneurs and business owners, we usually have more ideas than the average person, and many ideas could be considered good ideas. The question then is, as believers in business how do we determine whether to move forward with a good idea and whether the idea is a God thing or simply a good thing!   

The biggest way to know the difference is to recognize the difference between a good idea and a God idea:

Do you struggle with procrastination, lack of focus, or shiny object syndrome? The first step to healing from these behaviors is to acknowledge that they do exist in your life. These behaviors are learned and can be unlearned. If we changed our mindset our approach to how we accomplish things would change as well. 

This week on the podcast Valerie Pugsley shares how biblical principles influence our mindset and our business.

On this episode you will hear:

  • How she struggled with building her business because of her mindset
  • The connection with faith and personal development, neuroscience, and mindset
  • The impact of a Sunday School teacher on her faith journey
  • How the passing of her grandmother impacted her faith
  • How she is finding her voice in the marketplace
  • How we know we are in alignment with God’s will by knowing that the Sprit dwells inside and guides us, and trusting that it’s the right direction and if it’s not the right direction, God can redirect you

  • Trust God for the outcome

    Top 5 most impactful books in 2023

    This year has been a year of GROWTH and a large contributor to my growth this year has been the books that I have read. In this post I’m sharing the top 5 books that impacted me the most this year.

    1. Quiet Times With God Devotional by Joyce Meyer

    Every year I select a daily devotional and this year I selected this devotional. I have several devotionals by Joyce Meyer, but this one was so impactful this year because each day includes a scripture verse, a story, a thought of the day, and the opportunity to dig deeper on the topic for that day by offering two additional scripture verses. I especially like this feature because it allows me to go deeper into what God’s word says about the topic for that day. I liked it so much that I will be doing the same devotional again next year for 2024!

    2. 100-Days of Life-Changing Confidence by Amanda Pittman

    I was led to purchase this additional devotional journal this year, so in addition to my daily devotional I also did this devotional journal for 100 days in 2023. What I like most about this devotional is the journaling. Being able to go deeper by journaling my thoughts and getting one word a day to remind me of who I am in Christ really helped to boost and impact my confidence. Each day provides a word, scripture verses to support the word of the day, a key scripture, a place to journal your thoughts and a declaration.

    3. The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson

    I was introduced to this book in my Pinnacle Forum group. A group that has helped me to grow personally and spiritually. This book is a must read and something that I will definitely read again. It taught me the importance of circling my prayers and the many ways that I can circle my prayers including circling and praying about a scripture/promise of God, physically circling something, and circling my prayers by fasting. This book is powerful and is now in my top list of all spiritual development books that I have in my library.

    4. Draw the Circle by Mark Batterson

    This book is a supplement to The Circle Maker book. Each day of the challenge offers a scripture verse, an explanation and an impactful quote to help you grow spiritually and specifically in the area of your prayer life. It’s easy to digest as it’s in bit sized daily content. This book was something that we also did as a group in my Pinnacle Forum group and we were able to share praise reports, insights, ah ha’s and more as a group which made it even more impactful.

    5. Believe by Joel Osteen

    This was a small, short, but powerful book that shared the power in what we believe. Our belief is one of the greatest abilities God has given us so taking time to read a book about unlocking the power of believing was so impactful this year. As I continue my journey to believe bigger!

    Honorable mentions:

    This year I published by first collaborative book, so I couldn’t create a list of books that impacted me the most in 2023 without including my very own 90-Day Activate Your Faith Journal

    90-Day Activate Your Faith Journal by Nadine Mullings and more

    This journal is all about taking the steps to overcome key blessing blockers that stop women of faith in their tracks. Things like procrastination, fear, complaining, doubt, distraction, etc. The journal includes 10 days of going deep on each of the 9 blessing blockers included in the journal and allows you space to journal about how the blessing blocker may be impacting you. Each page has a scripture verse to help you study God’s Word on the topic and each author shares how she overcame or is overcoming this blessing blocker in her life. It also include special gifts from each author. It was definitely impactful for me in leading this book project and I pray and hope it will be impactful for all those who read and consume the journal.

    What books have impacted you this year? Be sure to comment below:
