Busy

Busy, Busy

 

 

Somewhere in time, this week, I have been busy, busy, busy.  I was on vacation the last few weeks, so I returned to work with a mountain of new e-mails and a ton of open projects.  At the same time, I’m being considered for a promotion, so I had meetings to interview with various managers about it. 

To top it all off, I’m trying to finish my book to get it ready to be published.  I was wondering how to get a great cover when the idea hit me.  I could put my niece and her husband on the cover. They are both young and attractive.  My story is set in California and they live in California.  What I needed was some period clothing, especially for my niece.

I e-mailed to ask them if they could do this and they are so sweet, they agreed.  Then I started driving them crazy with costume ideas and where to go to find things. My niece was slower in responding, but that didn’t deter me from sending ideas.  Finally, she sent me an e-mail that said she was sorry, but she was busy and she would get to it.

My response was – I understand busy.

I think all of us understand busy.  Our lives are so full of things we need to do.  Sometimes finding a minute just to think and plan is hard.

Psalm 46:10

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁰ Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

God sometimes needs us to be still.  He needs us to be quiet.  He needs us to seek Him out.  Most of all, we need time with Him.  Don’t forget what’s important in the midst of the crazy busy lives.  God is.
