In Ecclesiastes, King Solomon tells us that there is a time for everything, yet in today's culture, time seems to be a scarce commodity. We each have a litany of things for which we wish we had more time, but those items tend to get pushed aside in the tyranny of the urgent.
This has been, and continues to be, a struggle for me as well. In December of 2016, I resigned from a position I had held for the previous 8 years. I loved my job, but due to some health reasons and some things going on in our lives, my husband and I felt that this would be the best decision for our family.
I was excited about the prospect of being home again. My plan was to get my house thoroughly cleaned and organized, spend time with friends that I felt like I had neglected while working, and find some volunteer opportunities where I could use my gifts and passions to make a difference in my little corner of the world. Great goals, right?
Now, fast forward one year plus. Things look pretty much like they did in December of 2016. The tyranny of the urgent, or in some cases the lack of, has left me struggling to find my balance. I may be better rested, but I have not remotely met the goals I had set for myself when I resigned.
One of the goals that I hoped to attain was to begin writing again. I love to write. I have written devotionals and shared my thoughts here in the past, but for some reason, I stopped. Honestly, I had go to my Facebook page to find the link to my blog. It was that bad, but like Solomon, I think there is a time and this is it.
So...I can't promise how often I will post, but I can promise that it will be often enough that I won't forget the web address!
Now, if I could just get my house under control...
