A wish from a busy life.

I wish that I did not feel the need to be so busy. For sure working 30 hours a week and then trying to raise support on top of that requires a busy life. But so often I catch myself using the busy excuse. When something comes up ahh I am too busy... when I think about sitting down to enjoy a good theological read... ahh too busy! Amongst all this busyness am I really stopping to reflect on what I am busy for?
The busy mindset is our pragmatic and materialistic cultures answer to satisfaction. Often I buy it hook line and sinker. I wish that I would buy it less often. That is my wish! Thanks to God I can come to the meaning of life. I can sit at the feet of the center of reality and be satisfied in God's goodness. Like the Psalmist in 86:11 "Unite my heart to fear your name!" I long for that to be a reality!
