Woah there cowboy!
Have you ever gotten the feeling that life is just moving way to fast for you? I've been that way in this past little while, it just seems that no matter what I do I can't keep up with myself. I know it sounds a little crazy and possibly it is but I just feel like I can't get caught up. Take for instance the ever growing mountain of laundry I have to do before friday so that I can pack and be ready to leave right after work on saturday, it just seems that when I get it all done I have another load to put in. It's always just one more load, I never imagined that my *free time* would be consumed with laundry. Sigh, possibly it's because it just gets away from me. I don't have a tonne of spare time as it is and I'm afraid that it's not going to get any better once I start regular classes. I think that I might be able to keep up a little better from the simple fact that even though I will technically be working harder, I will be doing a lot of work from home, which means that while I am doing homework I can throw in a load of laundry, or if I need a break (which I can most certainly say that I will) I can do my dishes. Who needs sleep anyways? lol, highly overrated. It's not just my chores that have been getting to me though. It's been a little bit of everything from potential relationship problems (if you need more details you will have to e-mail me because there are some people who do not need to know what I mean by that statement and others that may already know, or those who think they might know but just aren't sure, anyways not important) to work, even to spiritual stuff. I just feel like my life has been really full in the last couple weeks but not really fulfilling. Does that make sense? Are we called to be senseless drones that just go through life never really living? NO I DON'T THINK SO!!!!! NICE TRY THOUGH!!!!! Just because I am busy doesn't mean that I get to stop living. I still need to make time for God, and make time for me, in amidst the other thing of life. Have you found yourself at a standstill in your relationship with your heavenly father? Possibly it's because you are not making time for him and the mountains of things that you just expect him to deal with keep building up. Let me ask you this question.... if you had a friend who constantly expected you to do things for them but was never really grateful for it, or never really spent any time with you other then to make sure that you are meeting their needs, would you keep doing things for that friend? Probably not, so why then do we expect God to? I mean not all of us, and not all of the time, but most of us at some point of time don't' give God the recognition that he deserves. When was the last time you thanked God for the sun in the sky? I know for me it's been a while. I think at some point of time or another, we all take God's awesome creation for granted. We need to slow down, step back from the business of life and breathe. Inhale the presence of God, let him walk with you, and ask him what you can do for him for a change instead of always expecting. It's not bad to ask for things that you need, but possibly we need to take time to do for God instead of always just taking. I know the *sermon* is kinda random, but it's been on my heart, so think about it, ponder it, pray about it, talk it over with the big guy. Just don't ignore it, and tomorrow when you get up thank God for another load of laundry, it means that you have clothes to wear, and in that fact you are better off then some people are. Think about it. Luv y'all. Have a great night/day/weekend if I don't post again before then!!!!
