Today was a perfectly boring day! I slept in til 11:00 am. I took a shower, had breakfast and ran to get some light bulbs at the local hardware store. Then, I came home, ate again and went back to sleep. After I woke up I ate again and then claimed I was bored and needed to do something. Why am I like that? Why must my life have a schedule attached to it? I complain that my kids have too much going on and then I complain when I do not have enough to do. Boy, talk about a double standard! I think everyone needs to just take a day off every now and then and just sit for a while. It is very hard to listen when you are doing all the talking and running around! Time after time I am wishing for more hours in the day and when they are given to me on a silver platter, I complain. I think that is how we treat God sometimes to. We need to listen for His guidance, but instead we run around making all the plans without enlisting His help or guidance. Life is messy, why would we not seek His help??
Father help me to slow down and seek your help more. Give me the patience to wait for your guidance, instead of proceeding with my hasty plans. Thank you for giving me a day of solitude and rest and for giving me family that loves me where I am.
