I just don’t have time for this

Today started out busy for me.

There is so much stuff I have to get done and I feel like I haven't accomplished any of it.

In between setting up worship for Sunday, preparing a message, calling up people to see if laser tag is going to be cancelled, setting up Sunday night's lesson, fixing the computers around the Church with Bobby, setting up for CIY believe, reading and homework for Financial Peace tonight and the list could go on and on.

A couple of things threw off my schedule, people.

I have went to visit some people and some people have swung by here. At that time whatever I have planned stops.

While I know it's going to slow down my week, ministry is about meeting people and when I forget that people come first I forget that God called us to minister to people not to events or to do list.

We all get extremely busy.

After hanging out with Bobby as he tried to fix the computers around the Church (I tried to help, but he's the man) we left the Church about midnight last night.

I was exhausted after being at Woodrow Wilson for Campus Life at 7ish.

I was going to do something I haven't done in a long time.

Sleep in.

Which meant about 8:30 for me.

It was crazy, but I needed the sleep, I got to the Church around 10 a.m. and had all these thoughts running threw my head.

I won't be able to accomplish them all today.

So I have to use "Time management skills."

One of the first things I look at cutting out is my devo time where I just spend time reading the Bible and writing what God puts on my heart.

It would just be so easy and I have so much stuff to do.

But if I can't put aside my own agenda to focus on God, how could I expect other people too.

I really enjoy this time, but there are cost to it.

We all have things we make choices on, today I made this choice.

Malachi 4:2…

"But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall."

There is something about a sunrise that is just beautiful.

When I am driving to work at sunrise, it's awesome.

When we acknowledge what God has done in our lives, the good in our lives we will truly be excited.

This doesn't mean that life is perfect.

We aren't perfect, but there is just something about acknowledging that I believe one came that was perfect.

There is beauty all around us.

This reading will make me look at nature in a beautiful way today.

Thank you God for that.

Have a great day.
