Dear Lord,
I am sorry that I haven't spoken to you lately. You see, it's been really hectic the last few months. At work it has been very busy . I even had classes and committees of my own. There has been housework and extra projects and kids and pets. There have been births and deaths with emotions galore. I have been so busy, God, that I just seem to be barely fitting you in. Surely, you can see that I don't have a lot of extra time! I barely have time to go through my e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, and pin another interest. That video game I play also takes minutes away from my day. I've become short on time to read about organizing myself in 25 quick steps and solving the latest mystery novel. I even have to DVR some of my favorite television programs because there were two good things on at once and I couldn't watch them at the same time. I really wanted to read your Word but I was too exhausted after the sporting event went into overtime. Plus, I was answering a text on my cell phone while trying to sinc some music. Yes, I know there were days when I spent hours with you but that was when I thought I was running out of time. Now things are going great and I really can't spend as many hours with you when there is all this other stuff to do. It is quite necessary to do all these things according to the world. It will take hours and make me feel fulfilled. At least that's what they say. But...
I feel a little unstable...
There seems to be a sadness lurking around some days...
My relationships seem to be suffering...
I can't remember what my child said a moment ago.
Jesus, why do I fall into this trap of busyness?
I can't seem to breathe...
Help me... make me whole... bring me back to you.
Love,
Your Child
