Deadlines

As I preparing for this mornings blog and wondering which direction I should go I glanced down at my to do list for this coming week. It was slightly overwhelming. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday I have to be in meetings. I must finish grading many more assignments as my classes ended on Thursday and grades are due. On Friday just for the fun of it plans to attend a Giants game were added to the mix. Oh, and I almost forgot the conference application that needs to be sent by the 26th of July…Yikes that is tomorrow! Can you see where I am going here…there is nothing on my list that says “time for Jesus”…why is that? Is it because we just naturally spend time with Him? If so blessings to you. When we fill our weekly list and do not add time with the Lord we are carrying the load by ourselves. One of my goals in life is to make sure I spend quality time with God and Jesus Christ. I notice when I don’t my day just isn’t the same. It is like when you miss going to church due to illness, travel or other unavoidable circumstance your whole week is off. I look forward to the time I have with God and Jesus…it rejuvenates my energy and spring boards me to the next challenge or obligation with joy in my spirit. I want to bottle that feeling and take it out like a sprits and just refresh when needed. What is amazing is I can sprits any time I want…it is called being in pray with the Lord. He is always there to listen, to encourage and to support. We are so Blessed by His love and devotion. He doesn’t give us a deadline, just allows us to come to Him. My prayer is we put God and Jesus on our list of daily deadlines and give our hearts, souls and body to our prayer life. Allow God to energize our daily challenges and obligations, to fill our spirits with joy and to know He is our support. Psalm 69:30 I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. God and Jesus are the source that helps us reach all deadlines…praise be! Smiles & Blessings, Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
