Normal flow

Posted January 8, 2009 By Andrea

The day in and day out, the pressure, the bills, the laundry…. I think all of us have something that can get in the way of spending time with God. It is EXTREMELY easy for me to get busy and then lazy. It is a cycle I create. I either want to do everything at once, or nothing at all.

To be honest, I have not been working on it. But admitting it is the first step right? I don’t know how. Where is balance? Where is time with others and not trying to make the next task disappear….to soon be replaced by another one. Can it exist as long as we are doing the “normal” way of life?

How do you find time for God? Can you read the Bible without feeling uneasy about something? This happens to me a lot. I think that I am not as intelligent as I would like to think I am. It’s like “I love this part!” and then- “What the heck does that mean?!?!”

Today I am going out for a cup of coffee with a friend after work. Starbucks coffee with a pump of Cinnamon Dulce. MMmmm, I can taste it. I know they are corporate giants but something just makes me keep going back (well that and the best locally owned coffee shop is like 20 minutes away from where I work…Starbucks is 2). After that I will go home and I might think about folding the laundry. But maybe first I will spend a little time with God. Maybe I will baffle myself with some scripture and then ask God to help me out. There’s a first step after admittance, correct?
