Busy, Busy, Busy

In the midst of my "busyness" today, I read a very convicting blog post by C.J. Mahaney  on that very topic. I probably should have been doing what I'd set out to do, but ironically, I really needed to read what I came across. Lately, I've been having that "bogged down" feeling; too much to do, too little time, blah blah blah. This kind of feeling usually leaves me discouraged and feeling--you guessed it! Unproductive. 

As I've wrestled with these things over the past week or so I've thought, "Okay. If I'm feeling this way (weighed down, crummy) there has to be a sin issue somewhere in here. Where is it? Where is it? What is it? In the midst of all this, Ps 127:2 kept coming to mind and I wasn't sure why. I kept praying, "God please help me, help me get all of this "stuff" done." After reading C.J. Mahaney's post I realized I should've been repententing then supplicating then thanking God for His forgiveness and provision found in the Gospel. 

I went home and shared what I'd read with my wife, repented to her for letting my "busyness" get in the way of my priority to her as a husband and friend, and then I asked her to pray for me, keep me accountable and let me know when my "busyness" put her in "second place". 

If you feel like this is a topic that hits home I recommend reading Mahaney's post(s). The link to them is above.

Praise God for His forgiveness, His peace and His wisdom in revealing things to us in due season.

From Him, through Him, and to Him are all things. To Him be glory, forever and ever.
