We all need some down time. These past two weeks have been hectic for me, yet they were to be a vacation - more accurately a stay-cation. I feel like I've been running around in circles and nothing is getting done. Then there's the feeling that I'm lazy and want to take the day off. There seems to be no schedule, no organization, no plans. We finished the first quarter of the school year and took a few weeks off. I had grand plans of in-depth Bible study, fall cleaning, hanging out with the kids, and all in all having fun. Now I reflect on the past few weeks and see I didn't get much accomplished, yet I felt busy and torn in many directions.
It's so easy to get distracted by the things of this world. However, God calls us to be focused on Him. I was re-reading the story of Jesus calling Peter out to walk on the water to him. Peter only began to sink when he took his eyes off Christ and focused on his surroundings and circumstances. The last few weeks I've felt like Peter - sinking and sinking and sinking. It's time to put my eyes back on Christ, order my life in His ways, and seek Him above all else in every aspect of my life. It's time to pull up my bootstraps and get to work!
