I am barely keeping afloat through all of the busyness in life.

With all of my tasks and expectations at work, in my personal life and the always consuming thought “what does tomorrow look like?” It is like trying to drive a car while sitting in the passenger seat - it doesn’t work!

Busyness is a term thrown around that makes up some sort of excuse to not find a moment to sit and ask God what His plans are for my life. I let my thoughts of the future flood my mind hourly as if I have all of the answers. Picture this you and Jesus sitting down for a coffee and He is telling you what is next and you keep cutting Him off to offer your two sense. Are you more superior than Jesus?

Rather then looking into my tomorrows I need to be reminded of my yesterdays and the way Jesus carried me through those. How come I am so easily wrapped up in my own life to lose light on knowing that Christ will continue to carry me through today and into tomorrow.

I let my excuses and the busyness of life consume me rather than letting the bible and prayer be what I saturate my soul in.

I am reading this book called “The Rabbit and the Elephant” by Tony Dale, Felicity Dale and George Barna and here is an incredible excerpt:

“God has been preparing leaders for this movement for many years now. You can recognize them because they are broken by years of disappointment and disillusionment; they have experienced tragedies and heartbreaks, financial calamities, and relational disasters. God has been shaping them on His anvil, and they are coming forth as pure gold…They do not care about their own reputations, only that the glory goes to God. These people are the ones He is choosing to lead this reformation.”

I pray that God would break me and my generation to not conform to the norm, and not care about our reputations. That we would be the movement of ordinary people who glorify Jesus yesterday, today and even in our tomorrows.

Will you stop interrupting Jesus?
