Busy, Busy, Busy

Okay, so lately I haven’t been writing as many  blog posts as I have wanted to but that also comes with the fact of being in a super busy season. And also catching a cold and getting sick, which wasn’t something I planned on happening. 

Things in life happen and you end up in such a busy season and it can get kind of crazy and ultimately you end up putting other things aside. I started this blog not only for myself but if I could touch one person‘s heart in knowing who God is and what he can do. Or give some advice based off of what I have learned from people around me, experiences or honestly anything would be the greatest outcome I can get from this. 

So speaking of being in a busy season right now, at work it’s been busy, busy, busy.  I absolutely love my job and I’m excited for the the incredible things that are coming up in Children’s Ministry but thats where my focus has been for the past couple of weeks. This weekend we have a huge event happening and I’m excited to see my hard work pay off when the kiddos see all the fun things we have for them during each service. 

It’s a dream for me to be working in ministry but sometimes it’s difficult because it’s my vocation and my avocation. In more simple words it’s my passion but its also my place of work. Since it’s something I have done as a “hobby” for years and years, for example all the crafting I get to do, it’s difficult to separate it and not just fully let that take over. I love what I do but there is times where I have got to step back, stop checking my email when I’m out of the office and just chill. Not thinking about all the fun events is hard because for me it’s exciting but I realize I must step back and also take my sabbath. Taking my sabbath is just taking my time off and doing things other than work related stuff. Not bringing work things home with me and just having my quiet time with God, and spending time with loved ones. Having that time is refreshing so I can continue to move on and not tire myself out. 

This is all just from my personal experiences and what has been going on in my life lately. Maybe you are burned out or just need a break? I’m not sure but remember that God intended for us to have a time of rest and it’s never something to feel bad about. I had yesterday off from work, since I’m working over the weekend, and sleeping in and hanging out with my mom and going to Life group, was a breath of fresh air from all the things going on. 

Take time for yourself and don’t let work, hobbies, school and life in general overtake your life completely. It can and will burn you out. So focus on yourself every once in a while and always put your trust in God. Seek him in the midst of all the crazy because from him comes the most divine peace and understanding. Whatever season you are in at the moment trust that God has it under control. I know with this weekend God has been in control over every aspect of the planning process and the final product will be done with his help as well. God knows everything we are going through so why not look to him before all else? I hope that whatever you may be going through good or bad your trust is in him. So with that I am off to go spend some time out of the house, away from work and just do things I enjoy when Im away from the office. Hello lunch time! Have a fantastic end of your week and I promise to be on here more I just need tho kick this cold in the butt!
