So much to do...so little time...

Next to my bed lay countless books...at least 10 that I want to read. Next to that lay my guitar that I want to play. Out in the dining room sits my child whom I want to teach. In the laundry room lay the laundry I need to fold. In the kitchen lay the dishes I should put in the dishwasher. In the fridge lay the ingredients I need to make dinner soon. In the living room lay the couch I wish I spent more time on. On the buffet lay my work files and laptop waiting for me to do year end.

And where am I? I am in bed. Laying on an ice pack and resisting the temptation to do all those things. Resting and contemplating my situation.

Why is it that when we are motivated something always slows us down. Well I guess that can be attributed to Satan. He is very good at breaking any resolve we may have to do the right things.

Or maybe it's God saying "Liz, Liz, you are troubled by many things but only one thing is needed."

"And P.S. if you wont rest and be still with Me on your own accord I'll help you slow down some other way."

Ok God. I'm listening. What do you want from me? What are the important things in this life. Reveal them to me that I may spend my time more wisely worshipping and honoring you in everything I do.
