Busyness

The thing I struggle with the most in life is busyness. I get an idea and I want to run with it...well more like 5 ideas and I try to run with all of them at the same time. Then, I usually get burned out and wonder how it happened. Can you relate? It's so frustrating! Well right now, I feel like I am in a season of being tested in that area. I feel like the Lord is telling me to slow down, to refocus on him and to reprioritize my life. This is a quote from the ACTS International blog.

Whatever the cause, if the over-active person sits still for long, his or her inner pain of not feeling okay begins to rise to consciousness. He or she then feels empty, bored, lonely, tired, depressed, or restless. To quieten this pain, he or she just keeps busy, busy, busy.

One escapes his or her pain by becoming an alcoholic. Another, a workaholic. In God's sight there's no difference.

One of the most important lessons in life for every individual to learn and teach his or her children is this: One's worth as a person is never dependent on his or her performance—good or bad. Every person is worthwhile because he or she has been created by God in his image, and loved fully and unconditionally by him.
