Wow.
So much going on in life. I'm not the only one feeling this. I have my family, my wife deserves communication, undivided attention, quality time. My new daughter the same. I love that part of my life. I look forward to stealing off with Amy and Ruby for an unplanned hike or just hanging out at home with no distractions (sorry iphone).
I have a job, that I love and requires not only a LOT of time, but a lot of energy & creativity. If I am honest, the job gets more than it's fair share. I work to set boundaries and then abide by them.
I have a spiritual life. I have serious responsibilities at church. The kind with eternal ramifications. It calls for spiritual growth and holding those in the worship team accountable for individual growht. Right now, we have May 3rd looming, before we get to that we have the Dress rehearsal at Crossroads. Extra practices, extra meetings, preperation....etc.
With all this going on, it's easy to get in a habit of running from one thing to the next. It's easy if you're proactive, to let your mind always wander to the next thing on you're plate. Never on what you're doing. Where you are right now.
Right now, is where God is. It's the joy in the moment. The smile on my daughter's face, helping a stranger with the door. It's tuning out the noise and connecting with God before sprinting into the next "thing".

What did you say? Sorry I was thinking about what I had to do today! Great comments. I have found that boundaries aren't confining for me but freedom. I'm working hard to set them too! Thanks for the fact that you wrestle with these things.
