Busy

Someone once said that BUSY means 'Being Under Satan's Yoke'.

But there are days my head spins and I truly believe I'll never be able to finish all I have to do. Datelines are closing in and time is running out. Is 24 hours a day really enough? It should be yet it's not. I won't even go into the details of what I need to do.

On the verge of breakdown, I take short deep breaths. Look to heaven for help, for sanity, for peace. Look within for a reason and rhyme. Look beyond for the single sight of beauty that just stops time. (sounding too poetic for some of you?)

A lot of time, I think we brought busy-ness upon ourselves. We add on to our own workload, trying to balance what we have to do and what we want to do. Balance. That's the word. Can you really find that equilibrium? Is it possible?

And then you look around once again. Oops there's again so much to do. There are the parties and the funerals you should attend, the people you should take out for lunch or supper. Relationships are after all more important than anything else. But then your work, your planning, your assignments continue to pile. Then what...

But to me, people are still more important....

u knw, ppl in ministry get away with believing their reward is in heaven. but when u really think about it. working in church alone (or any christian organization) does not win u any points with god.

sometimes i think a person in the work place can better shine his light, tell his story and win souls than those within the security of the church walls.

food for thought.

i disagree. if u're working in church and that's what God called you to do, your reward WILL be in heaven.

if u're working at a secular job, and that's what HE called you to do, ur reward, is also in heaven.

what's He asking you to do?
