Sometimes my to-do list seems very, very long. I know that I can get everything done, but the motivation to get going and actually do it rarely comes when I have the time to do things. Today, the planets aligned. I was productive at work and at home...and the night is still young. I have plenty of time to continue checking things off of my list. That is a good feeling.
The rush of the world and the instant-gratification society that we live in can really knock us off our center: Christ. Luckily for us, God does not get caught up in the rush like we do. While we run around doing our "important" chores and jobs, he is at work making sure that we are cared for...the most important thing of all. What we need to realize is that we need to stop, slow down, and listen for Christ's voice. We need to pause to look around and see God at work, preparing our next step. If we don't, it's like walking down a crowded side walk without watching where you are going. If you don't keep your eyes on the path ahead, you'll likely step in a pothole or crash into someone else rushing through their life.
Take a moment to stop. Turn off your television; put your laptop aside. Center yourself: pray, meditate, breathe, think. This is when God can talk to you because your ears and eyes are not filled with the rush of the world. This is a perfect place to find your bliss.
