Busy is not sexy, spirit

Isn’t it time your waiting is over?

Why is being busy not sexy?

Why?

Wait, you haven’t figured this out yet?

For me, being too busy to remain patient is my nemesis.

Impatience is not sexy. Not loving. Not helpful.

The only time impatience is sexy is when you are doing good and decent work to improve yourself or others. And staying always mindful that to everything there is a time and season.

Take your time, but hurry up.

Patiently working on being more consistently patient.

Being too busy to be present is a challenge and opportunity. On this front, i’ve transformed. Not perfectly, but tremendously.

The trap to be busy, spirit

The goal of every living thing is to reproduce. Period.

Knowing my days are numbered brings meaning to them.

When i was busier, this thought never appeared.

Why?

Because, like many, i thought i was gonna live forever.

Five clouds, six clouds?

How many did you notice from a window?

How many did you notice while outside?

Spiritual gymnastics

Facebook status update
Upper left, 2017 Facebook update. Used to love FB. Now, it makes me nervous. Plus, the commenting feature no longer serves my peace.

There are words to describe yesterday, but none seem sufficient.

If all we get today is what we were thankful for yesterday, will it be enough?

i consistently talk about Church “being every daily step”.

While deciding whether to keep or delete Facebook, i read many entries and smiled big on the one below.

“The daily pickup after school hug ritual has been happening since he was 3. Today it hit me, it’s been 13 years.”

Turns out it lasted 15 years. Never missed a day.

Gymnasts do their reps.

My reps were/are different, but they are done with the same intentionality and intensity.

Easy and ease, spirit

Praying is easy.

And it’s often set aside for later in the day —because it’s easy — in a busy person’s life. But then the busy day is done and guess what, now a busy evening begins. We can pray tomorrow, right?

When you can simultaneously pray and be busy, and do it with ease, now you’re getting somewhere.
