One of the biggest motivators in my life right now comes down to a simply pair of speakers and my Spotify account.
While this may sound trivial and even somewhat juvenile, these two I items together help me make it through day after day at my desk. While I am quiet, I still enjoy being out and about and seeing things. Right now, I’m not in a job that allows too much of that. This not a complaint, but the reality of the position that God has called me to. But, with the speakers on my desk, I can at least have music to enjoy while I work on the many different projects that I have going on at the time.
I especially enjoy listening to the CCLI Top Praise Music playlist. On Sunday mornings, before chapel, I can slit into the office before chapel conduct some work while I prepare my heart for worship. It has become a great time for me.
Several years ago, Monica and I bought a small set of speakers to attach to a DVD projector that we had bought. We actually watched a couple of seasons of “24” on this little system. At the next assignment, I took these speakers and set them up in my office—where they have stayed in every office since then! I have a speaker on either side of the desk that gives me great stereo sound as I listen while I recharge my cell phone.
This little speaker system has definitely encouraged me every step through this year.
