I have been CRAZY, CRAZY,
CRAZY busy lately. My writing has fallen
off, I am scattered, and my exercise has taken a bit of a back seat. Between an ankle injury, walking pneumonia,
work, kids, Christ Walk presentations, and trips; I have not exactly been the
poster child for work/life balance. My
body has been conspiring against me to slow down and I am not very interested
in listening.
CRAZY busy also leads to me
putting God on my back burner. Don’t get
me wrong, God is always with me; God it always patient; and I know God will
always be there, but I have been the bad friend. I have not been the one holding up our end of
the relationship. I have been saying, “hold
on just one more minute” in our relationship.
If God were anyone but God, I think God would have left me a long time
ago because if I treated people the way I treat God sometimes, they wouldn’t
put up with me either.
I have done this
before. If you are honest, you probably
have done this too. When life takes
over, you say, “wait a minute, I’ll get back to you.” When I am CRAZY busy, I become CRAZY Anna. I start making CRAZY decisions. I don’t put God first in my life and
therefore, I do not make Godly decisions when I’ve told God: “wait a minute.”
I am one of those people
that need to stick to the training plan.
I need to stick with my commitment to God, because neither training, nor
being a Christian comes as second nature.
If it’s not first in my mind, first in my agenda or first in my life,
then I will push it to the back burner.
And when the things I care about most in my life get pushed to the back
burner, I regret it every time. I have
priorities in my life: God, Family, and Health. Even when CRAZY life happens, we need to make
sure the priorities remain up front, not pushed to the back.
