Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Life is What You Make It.

If we want to have a great life, we must learn to do things God's way.

We're all created with free choice, but if we're obedient to following his word, he will give us the

desires of our heart. Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching. Can I say something? If you're

consistently late everywhere you go, stop coming up with a new excuse every time you're late

and just admit that you're not managing your time properly.

God didn't let me get away with nothing.

And I don't know why, but I learned so many lessons in the grocery store.

That seemed to be my school of education.
