Do you ever feel like there is so much going on in your life that you can’t even fathom how you’ll get it all done? Overwhelmed? On the edge of insanity because of it all? Having urges of pulling out your hair? Oh wait, I’m talking about myself! Lol! Welcome to my life at this very moment - So much to do, so little time. Makes my innards feel like they are going crazy at times but what is wild is I actually seem to get a lot done when I have an intense schedule. I actually work well when stressed and become quite creative. I know, that sounds totally crazy but it’s so true. Something that I am striving to grasp through these times because the seasons of craziness seem to be getting closer and closer together leaving me less ‘ahhhh’ moments is how to continually focus and keep my mind on Christ through it all.
It comes down to this – I want everything I do to have an eternal impact for Christ and to align myself and my life decisions that I make DAILY on the dreams that God has placed within me to please my Heavenly Father. I don’t want to look back on life and say, “If only…” So, today I was reading in Philippians and the thing that kept popping out to me over and over is how Paul made the most out of every situation he was put in, whether walking in freedom or in prison in chains. Phil. 1:21 Paul said, “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” In the craziness of life, Christ must matter most. How we react, how we respond, what we do, what we don’t do…aligning ourselves up with His will, His dreams, His plans for us. Everything counts, everything matters. Wow – read v.27 – ‘let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ.’ Walking out your life and all your dreams w/out complaining, disputing, walking without fault but in all that God has given you to do every single day – do it with joy, being anxious for NOTHING, thinking of beautiful thoughts, things that are uplifting, knowing that God will give you the strength to do everything He has called you to do because He will supply ALL your needs according to His riches in glory. Now that totally rocks!! So, get busy doing His Kingdom work – get active for Him, do things that have eternal value and find joy that is so complete because that kind of joy can only come from God!! So, yes, I’m so busy, busy, dreadfully busy but I’m loving every single minute of it because I’m determined to keep my focus on Christ. What a beautiful life!
