Have I lost my mind?
We are starting a new business, somewhat keeping it under wraps for now.
What? You say you already know what I am doing?…
Well then, …Merry Christmas to you.
So I have had all these various and scattered tasks to get to that have come
near to inciting paralysis.
And now I have expounded the number of tasks, responsibilities, duties,
commitments, expectations, demands on my time and energies, projects, jobs,
goals to fulfill in a timely fashion, deeds, and things to plan, build,
organize, create, accomplish and ultimately to reign over supreme.
And what is my reward for taking on these immense burdens, labors, toils and
troubles, upon my broad and powerful shoulders?
More time? Could God be so gracious as to slow it for me? Perhaps it would be
wiser to move faster.
Bubbles? Not unless I draw my own bath.
Peace of mind, contentment, confidence, a growing sense of worth, value,
esteem or simply a good nights sleep after working myself to the point of
exhaustion? My wife put the caffeinated coffee, rather than the decaf, into the
Kurig last night for my after dinner desert replacement.
True story, and I did not use a thesaurus in the production of this post.
Actually, with a now undeniably “I have too much to do and not enough time to
do it!” charge I am getting more done than ever. If only I could properly
prioritize. I just start moving to the demands of what ever I find before me,
finish, and on to the next object I come across, to set upon it and bend to my
steely will.
And in all this, in the midst of the tempest, the melee, throwing myself into
the breech once more, my mind fills with my stories.
Yes, still writing and once all my infrastructure is in place the work of the
published will take off again with depth and potent detail.
It is good to be busy. I have not always succeeded in that aspect of life,
stifled by crushing life realities peeling back like an onion, layer after
layer.
But one thing that I never fell short in, never stopped investing in, is my
life of prayer and dedication to God. A continuous humbling of the heart is the
foundation upon which I go forward.
What will befall me now?
Thanks for reading.
I have not fulfilled the goal of posting on “No Sanction” or “Global Imprint”
(one or the other is my monthly intention) but I have a great post in the works.
Excuse my tardiness you most faithful of readers.
