Episode Summary: 

Our mindset matters. The choices we make matter. Our habits and disciplines matter. Join me with Jayne Patton as we talk about daily habits and practices we can put into place so that when we get up in the morning, our day is already off to a good start. Jayne also shares the one practice, above all else, that helps determine whether or not you’re going to have a good day.

Quotables from the episode:

  • When we ask the Lord for His lens through which to view our situation, it changes our perspective and frames our day.
  • We are told to put on the armor of God, and put on the garment of praise, but those are intentional choices we make to do what God has told us to do to fight our battles.
  • A key to having a good day is not just to be in the word, but to saturate your life with God’s word, actually believe what you are reading, and apply it to your everyday life.
  • We are told that in this world we will experience trials. In order to have a good day despite the trials, we must take a pre-emptive approach and do what we can ahead of time to help foster a good day.
  • When we have a cluttered environment, we also then tend to have a cluttered mind and a cluttered heart.
  • By taking the time to clear your area of clutter the night before, you can awaken in a state of peace, and the clutter and chaos around you won’t distract you from your quiet time with God.
  • Think about the fact that the Creator of the Universe wants to spend time communicating with you personally. Are you going to deprive Him of that?
  • Our homes should be a place of refuge and calm away from the stress and the chaos of the world.

Scripture References:

Psalm 118:24 “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”

In 1996, Jayne graduated from Missouri Baptist University with a B.A. in Business Administration with a minor in Management. She left a lucrative sales career soon after the birth of her first child, and entered into the world of women’s ministry via the local church through facilitating Bible studies, hosting events, speaking locally, and more. Before launching Altered Ministries, she currently holds the position of Women’s Ministry Director for her local church, and has worked with government officials regarding the plight of persecuted Christians worldwide. 

Jayne is a popular speaker at events, conferences, banquets, and churches through her inspirational and motivational speaking. Jayne loves to read in her spare time, can always be bribed with Mexican food, and never…EVER…turns down a double-stuffed Oreo. Ever.
