Taking the Time

Rush, rush, Rush. Do you ever have thoughts of "Oh, I can get one more thing done" or "if I could just do this, then I.." all the while taking time from who really loves us the most. The carrot at the end of the stick has many of us running like little hamsters trying to "get it". Many times we're so busy doing we forget to take the time to include God in our plans. I admit I am a "get R done" kind of gal. I want things done, I want it done now, so many times I do it myself to "get it" done faster. I am not naturally blessed with patience so roadbloacks are frustrating for me. I will tell you that I try to pray daily and read my devotions, but I do not always take the time to include God in my plans, obstacles, praises, etc. My family logistics have changed dramatically in the last month. We are under more stress then I ever thought we could endure as a family and we have definitly felt the ups & downs with it. Funny thing the other day, I was feeling pretty heavy and rushing around trying to get the house cleaned up before bible study. I had all of these negative thoughts rolling through my head. You name it I probably thought it kind of thoughts. I had this overwhelming feeling to get on my knees "NOW". I say feeling, I believe it was an actual command from the Lord above, and so I did! That was my wake up for the week, how important it is to take the time to include God in all that we do! By doing so we are allowing the Holy Spirit in our hearts & minds, guiding us through this rush, rush, rush of a life.
