These days, time seems to run away from me! I wonder if I'm the only one that happens to? I bet not... :-) We live in this fast-paced society; running around like chickens with heads cut off; and, most days, it seems like there's lots going on but we've accomplished nothing important... just mundane everyday things.
A few weeks ago, hubby and I saw a TV commercial about Manitoba. It said something about life being s-l-o-w-e-r in Manitoba. We both looked at each other thinking: "Hmmm... that sounds appealing!" --- the s-l-o-w-n-e-s-s is appealing, not Manitoba! Just in case you're wondering...
It really is an intentional act to slow down in this society, isn't it? Everything around us screams the opposite. It's always been a habit of our family to inventory the "activities" that we participate in... mind you, we've not always been successful at weeding things out but I think we've done a good job at it.
Speaking of weeding things out... I've managed to offload 5-10 hours of work each week. This month is a transition month as my boss sorts out who will do what... things should start to fall into place by the start of May. I'm looking forward to it. I might be getting less pay from now on but I am thrilled to be able to focus on more things that have eternal value! This was totally a God-thing... an answered prayer. Thank you God!
This verse comes to mind right now... from Psalm 37:4 (NIV): "Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart." So very true!
