There is such a beauty in this place. Day in and day out we run around with the important tasks of the day, feeling as though we will never get it all done. I am as bad as the next guy, sometimes worse. When I get overwhelmed with my impossible to do list, I franticly tell everyone "but I have this, this, and this to do". Ignoring the fact that they really don't care because they also have this, this, and this to do.
Why do we feel all of "this" is so important?
One of my to dos is to write my very first book. I have wanted to do this for several years now. Now I am in a place that God has clearly said "this is the time". My prayer was not to miss it. "Lord, please do not let me push writing out of the way out of business."
With being a student and setting a semester out, I realize the value of this little bit of time I have to really get started. I have the opportunity in front of me to let God move and work through me or to make excuse after excuse and find the time pass me by with nothing to show for it. Maybe your thing is not a book. Maybe your thing is a parent that needs you or a child that rarely gets to spend time with you but will be grown soon. There are so many choices we make each day.
I don't know about you but I would really like to learn not to let "important" things stand in the way of IMPORTANT things. I love this place too, this place of solitude, this place of accepting, realization, growth, healing and just down right intimacy with the One True Living God!....mmmm..God is good, so good.
Glad to see you marching forward about your book and to see your excitement! I will pray for you to have diligence and the Lord's wisdom!!
