...or should I say the "busyness" of life? I intended to write this days ago - even had notes made - but the business of life got in the way of my plans.
Yes, life is like a business. You have to have a game plan, a Boss, team work, deadlines...well, you get my point.
And, a lot of them time I want to hang up a "Going out of business" sign - but my Boss won't let me.
See, when I try and run my business myself and start thinking:
"I can handle this."
"Maybe tomorrow...for sure on Monday."
"It'll get better or easier and less stressful someday."
"When......."
"If only THEY would help."
Well, sistas, I hate to tell you this, but there are no "do-overs" in life. This ain't grade school. And if you aren't on the right team this time around,
you're O-U-T out!
Don't let your "busyness" keep you from your Boss. Go to His office, kneel before His throne, and ask for His direction. Consider that He may have plans.
"For I know the plans I have for you," decalres the Lord. "Plans to help you and not to harm you, to give you a future with hope." Jeremiah 29:11
So, here's what you'll need to set up your new business:
A Day Planner - it's called the Bible, use it, study it, memorize it. That's your game plan. Your "I can't live without it" Book. Download it to your I-Phone, your Blackberry, your PDA - whatever!
Subscribe to a daily devotional. I like www.proverbs31.org. Www.biblegateway.com is also an excellent resource.
Have daily meetings with your Boss. Ask Him the gameplan before you even get out of bed. Meet with Him throughout the day as needed.
Here's my guarantee - if you start your day out with time for Him - the busyness won't be so bad. I'm not gonna lie, it won't go away until the last child flies off on his own. Then, you will be all sad and lonely and empty-nesty. Which I am sure I will blog about someday, too.
So, go ahead, I dare you - I double dog dare you - write in some time with the Boss in permanent marker or crayon *lol*
I love you, and He does, too!
