It is so easy to fall back into the habit of busyness and let the unimportant take place of the important. Against my better judgment, last month, I took on a commitment outside of the home that has taxed my marriage, my time with my children and my health. I believe now, more than ever, that busyness is a tool of the enemy.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10
I fell asleep driving on the way home from my aunt's house yesterday. When the Lord woke me up I was halfway in another lane, headed for a ditch in the center of the freeway. I jerked the van straight and Drew asked, "Mom, why did you zig zag?" I praise the Lord we are still alive.
I want the abundant lifestyle of which Jesus spoke, not the empty, destructive lifestyle that pleases man. I'm dropping the outside commitment, and today I made time for a nap. We're off to bake raspberry muffins. Some to eat now and a few to freeze for later.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
