Doing too Much

Doing Too Much

December 7, 2010 — 1 Comment

It’s almost been a month since the last post. Translation: life is too busy. One quick random note, 277. That’s the number of days until Kristin and I are hitched!

Anyways, back to the point of this…

Have you ever felt like you wanted to do so many things that none of it would get accomplished? Lately, I feel like I want to do so many things, that in the end, none of them will be fulfilled. It seems like I start down one project/idea/adventure, and then become A.D.D. and start another. Then, I’m always tired from running around trying to do everything…and I do mean everything. Where does the balance come in? Does it come from realizing that you could NEVER do EVERYTHING that you wanted to do? Does it come from discovering what you want to do the most? OR, does it come from doing what you feel you’re supposed to be doing. In other words, putting aside what you WANT to do and focus on what you NEED to do?

It’s such a fine line. We only have one life to live, so I feel I’m trying to fit everything I want to do into that life. It’s just not possible. Maybe that’s the point though. Maybe we should be focusing on doing the things that count towards what comes after this life? I feel that viewing it in that respect would make it a lot easier to choose where I should put my time or decide what I should strive to achieve. Who knows. It’s all just so frustrating and confusing!

    Yep … can be confusing and frustrating. But when we’re doing what we are called to do, things are a lot less stressful. We need to flow in the anointing that God has placed upon our lives, and stop trying to do those things we don’t have the grace to do. Great post!
