Why am I so busy? Am I as busy as I think or feel?
I often hear this conversation happen or am one in the conversation..."How are you?", a friend asks. "Busy", I reply. Has "busy" become our new "Fine thanks"? Has stating I am busy become my new way to not be open and vulnerable by just simply stating how I really am?
This thought of being busy keeps rolling around in my head. I have had a few health issues that have caused me to have to slow down, so I am not as busy as I used to be (which is good), but I'm still busy. Yet, I ask myself what am I busy with? I make a quick mental list. They are good things, but are they God things? Am I letting good get in the way of best? Am I busy with things that cause my heart to come alive or am I just busy because that is the new cool thing to be? I don't want to be viewed by others or think of myself that I am living like Jesus because I am busy with church things or helpful things or kind things. I want my value to be in Jesus and His good work in me, not in my list of responsibilities.
May my days be filled with the Spirit and not just being busy!!!
