FCS Mach II, Weekly Journal, Week Two
January 24, 2005
As I reflect on this last week, there has been a strong move to be
intentional about restoring a sense of rhythm to my life. I have to
confess that I have allowed the spirit of chaos and disorder take over
my life. I see it in my office spaces (one at work and one at home). I
see it in the list of untouched or slapped-together projects (not only
the ones that I “have” to do, but also the ones the I “want” to do). I
see it in my close relationships. The chaos sucks up all my time and
energy and I don’t get to do the things I want to do.
My time spent in Sacred Space have not directed that task, but have
certainly supported it. This week, the readings shared space with
Hebrews and Mark. Both sources focusing on the day-to-day nature of
the work of Christ, from the sabbath day being given for our benefit
to Christ being made priest by the “indestructible life” of God within
us. The time in reflection and prayer have helped me to get working on
soem big things (including cleaning one office, now to do the other
one).
I have to keep reminding myself that the abundant life, while it is a
gift is neither automatic or easy. I have to keep making the many
smaller choices to stay on the pathway. And right now, those choices
are for rhythm and more order.
