So Many Projects
So Little Time
Been stuck in that awful dilemma of having a lot of different computer
projects, both little and small that I want to do. Then you mix in a
ministry that is in one of those cycles of using all the strange
times, with little free time left. Then you mix in a lovely wife and
growing teenage daughter that actually want to spend time with me and
with whom I want to spend time with. Twirl that all together and you
get projects that don’t get done.
There was a time when I chose the projects over other things. The
memory of having to rebuild lost trust in ministry and the loss of my
first marriage has to be named as the price of those choices. It is
still easy for me to do that again.
Yet I also know myself. If I don’t rein in ministry demands my soul
and spirit suffer energy drain. If I don’t make time for myself (being
the introvert I am) then I become physically ill or the always lurking
dystemic depression sneaks back in.
I am very glad I have projects that I want to do, just for fun. But I
also hope that I can remember the lessons from the past and use them
in balance and with balance.
All this to say that I didn’t get my weekly devotions updated by
Monday (today) like I really want to do. Tomorrow is another day. And
since today was a 12 hour one, I can allow myself some time to do
that.
