Does this look familiar? You have a million things to do and just by thinking about it you get a headache. So, your mind tries to help you. "You have plenty of time to do it, so worry about that later". "You don't really need to do this". The list goes on and on. I woke up thinking about this, this morning.
I remember a few months ago a Pastor's wife told me, "Claudia, it's not about what you do, its about who you are". And I remember every time she would tell me this, I would feel so confused. I would physically nod my head, but in my mind I would think "wait. . . what?!".
It wasn't until recently that I understood what she meant. I was doing so many things at once, helping here, doing this, doing that, that I was forgetting about why I was doing it. It was starting to be automatic. I was getting lost in the things I was doing, to the point where I was putting myself aside. So, instead of doing things with the same joy and love, I was beginning to see those things as chores and burdens. Little by little I became more and more unorganized.
This doesn't only apply to church but your life. Maybe you used to find joy in something you did, or in someone you would help, but because you began to take on more and more tasks, you went from doing more and more, and giving your best less and less.
The Pastor's wife meant this. Don't be focused on doing more and more, or everything, focus on who your doing it for and focus on giving your best. Because what you do and the way you do it, will reflect who you are.
Today I made a decision; I'm going to clean up my life.
How about you?
