I feel rushed this morning.
I overslept. Actually, that is the wrong word to say. I failed to set the alarm. My 3:30 wake up time suddenly became 4:45. I’m not even sure what made me check my phone but I jumped up, showered, shaved, and had my Quiet Time and got to the office about 45 minutes to an hour later than usual. I found this quote by Lewis Carroll I once heard to be true:
The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.
Nothing worked right. Nothing was going as planned. Even here at the office (especially typing this post) nothing went as planned. I cannot tell you how many times I have already corrected misspelled/mistyped words. Type two keys, go back one. One key, back one. You get the picture.
Time for a reset. A slow down. A stop and take a deep breath time. I’m already behind my plan for this morning that I had made when I closed up the office yesterday afternoon. What’s another 15-20 minutes. Right? This song by the late Chuck Girard came into my mind this morning.
I think I’ll take his advice.
So frustrating when that happens, Bill, but stop, take a deep breath and know that all will be well. Blessings, my friend, and remember that God’s got this!
Thanks Martha and I literally did stop and lay my head back for a few. 🙂 Evidently He felt I needed that extra snooze time.
Days like that are a struggle for sure. One of my devotions today said to take a deep breath and say: Jesus you are present with me, teach me to be present with You. Sometimes God tells us to slow down, but we run right past that stop sign. Today Bill, slow down, and enjoy your walk with Jesus, everything else is small compared to that.
Thanks Gail. I did slow down and things are much better. 🙂
