Life has been way too busy recently (part of the reason I haven't posted in so long). I sat down yesterday and was thinking about everything that I had to get done. Here is what I wrote.
Thursday morning (3/29)-It is Thursday and I haven't started my sermon for Sunday yet. I have several meetings today which will limit my time to work on it today. Tomorrow we are having internet installed at the house and our new bedroom furniture is being delivered. Amy will be gone on Saturday visiting her mother and attending a lady's day. However, there is a gathering of my friends on Saturday from 9 to 4 I want to attend. Saturday evening at 5pm I have a Just Brothers fish fry. When/How will it all get done?
Here it is Friday night and I think that I am not going to make my gathering of friends. I need to stay home and take the time while Amy is gone to work on my sermon. The problem is that this is how life has been for me recently. I am need to slow down. I need to learn to say "no."

Saying No is an understatement, You need to say "Yes" to yourself. While Life is hectic and busy, I am concerned that you are trying to do it all by yourself. It may help to go back to your "Dependence on God" post and ask yourself the same questions you posed to us as readers of your blog. Asking yourself who is in control of your life, your relationships, and your work may be an eye opener as you realize that you are depending solely on yourself to attend events and meetings, work, and maintian a since of normalacy in the monotany of a busy schedule. Plan a vacation, spend time with your loved ones, and realize that you are not alone in your quest for "Peace" in your moments of "chaos".
