volume, variety, velocity

This is something that we all tend to be deal with. It's one of the things that I'm dealing with right now. I get so caught up in the volume, variety and velocity of life. What I mean by that is when school, work, family, pets, and people come screaming at me all at once I have trouble concentrating on God and putting him at my center like I know that he should be. Instead I let myself get distracted by all that needs to get done and forget that if I just have trust in God and truly fall in line with him and his word then I won't have to worry about that anymore. For those of you that don't understand what that last statement ment, what I mean by that is when I am in line with God and everything he wants me to do everything starts to take care of it. I'm not getting angry, i'm not getting nervous, and i'm not taking on more than I can handle. This doesn't mean that God won't help me out with life when i'm not following Him. It will be harder yes, but like my friend said this morning, "If I follow Him with all my heart then he'll bless all I do." This doesn't mean that I can go out killing people and he'll bless me, but if i misread a sign or get tricked by satan then he won't make my life hell, he'll help me and pull me through it. The next thing that hits me is the variety in life. There is so much for me to do and for anyone to do it's rediculous. Right now i'm typing this blog, and listening to music. Some days I just get overwhelmed. With all the video games, websites, programs, tv shows, and all that other mess out there it's easy for me to get distracted. This can also be a major pull-away from God for me. The last one is the velocity of life. Let's be realistic, in a society when waiting, "Two whole minutes!!!" is too long to wait for dinner we've become impatient and have started to live at the speed at which the microwaves that cook our food move at. I deal with this alot too. Working, going to school, and church I end up thinking, 'where do I fit God in?' This I really have to be careful of because there are times when life is going so fast I completely forget about God. So I encourage you to take on the challenge that I will be and take a defferent bible verse each week that you get something out of and study it for an entire week. Pick it apart and see what didn't hit you when you initially read over. Spend the time to memorize it. This will come in handy when you are depressed, angry, or desperate or whatever other emotion you may feel. That's my spiel.
