Busy doesn’t Always mean Better

.. We have all heard the saying: “The Busier, the Better”. At some point in time, we have all said: “I’m so busy.” Or, “I’m too busy”. We have all filled our calendars and “free time” with work, hobbies, meetings, gatherings, obligations, productive pursuits, and pursuits to simply “occupy” our time and our minds. BUT… Is it always worth it? No.

Being busy doesn’t always mean you are DOING better. Being busy doesn’t always mean you are more valuable than someone who has free time. Or, that because you are not busy you are less productive or worthy. Of course, it is hard to imagine this in our world. A world where those who succeed don’t sleep. A world where, sometimes, the more overloaded your calendar is the better you look in the eyes of your peers, managers, and bosses. A world currently at a standstill. A world that has shown us that, depending on the task and purpose, “Busy doesn’t always mean Better”.

Instead, Busy sometimes means you’re moving too fast. So, in haste we make mistakes. Then, we are left to deal with the guilt, embarrassment, criticism, worry, and burden of a “do over”. Why? Because we are, or were, stretched too thin. Because our focus isn’t always on one task, but 20 tasks. It's a habit. A habit of "Busy", of rushing.

We rush from meeting to meeting, constantly Focused on the Future and Missing out on the Present. We Rush to Raise our kids, but forget the Blessing and Lessons that come from walking alongside them as they grow. We rush to work, but miss appreciating the sunrise during our drive. We rush to start working, but miss the chance to say “Thank you, God, for my job.” Or, ask our co-workers how they are. We work from home and Rush to Maximize how productive we can be - or are - without a commute. Yet, we miss the chance to Reconnect with God through his word and prayer. Or, with our family and friends. We Rush to find New and Better employment, but miss the chance to truly SEEK God and LISTEN to his voice so we are Led to the Right opportunity and workplace. Or, led to be Honest in our interviews letting potential employers know: “I am ready to work, but work - life balance is Priority.”

No, "Busy" doesn’t always mean "Better". Why? Because.. Busy sometimes means we are occupying ALL of our time to Prevent a moment of Reflection where we must Admit our faults, seek God’s forgiveness, and receive His help. His help in being reconciled with those we have hurt. His help in Finally being able to Forgive those who have caused us pain. Busy sometimes means we are Burdened, unintentionally or unnecessarily, instead of "Casting our cares upon the Lord" (1 PT 5:7). Busy sometimes means we are trying to Control everything instead of Sharing the load. Busy sometimes means we lack Trust in others, in God, in ourselves. And, If God isn’t Leading us, being Busy will.

“Busy” will lead you to Burnout. “Busy” will lead you to Pride. “Busy” will lead you to Loneliness because you neglect God given relationships in exchange for Temporary worldly Accomplishment and “success”. “Busy” will lead you to the Verge of a Breakdown. “Busy” will lead you to rock bottom on top of the mountain and the moment where you FINALLY Surrender all to God. And, this is the only “good” thing about being “Busy”; when it FORCES you, me, US to reflect on what’s best. When it forces us to FINALLY See that God’s plan is Best, that God is our “Better”.

So today take a Step Back and Forward. Take a step Back from the lure, temptation, and trick of being “Busy”. Take a step Forward toward the Cross and see that God and his Plans are “Better”. Recognize that it is OK to be “busy”, to be productive. We were created to work. Yet, it is NOT OK to be overextended, burnt out, and Exhausted. It is also not OK to be so Stressed and Riddled with Anxiety that we neglect to Rest in God. We were created to rest. We are reminded that God is here to Renew us, Strengthen us, and Help us IF we wait upon him (Isa 40:29-31). So, give your worries, cares, and “Busy” schedule to God. Let him help you Prioritize so that you may Be Productive and Rest. So that you may Find the Balance between Faith and Works without Risking Working yourself into the Frenzy that “Busy” will inevitably bring..

Card of the Day • 3 of SWORDS Reversed⠀ Herbal Ally • PLEURISY ROOT⠀ ⠀ Subscribe : http://bit.ly/1OgxinP⠀ http://www.tarotbyhic.net⠀ ⠀ Ponder this ...⠀ • What newness is arising and stirring me emotionally ?⠀ • What have I held on to for too long that it's time to put behind me ?⠀ • How have I let fear of being hurt get in the way of experiencing what life has to offer ?⠀ • Can I let myself freely express what I'm feeling without needing to find the perfect way to say it rather than holding back or holding in ?⠀ ⠀ And then the day came, when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to Blossom. ~ Anaïs Nin⠀ ⠀ Lay down your burdens, put your worries behind you …⠀ ⠀ The winds of change are blowing strongly and fiercely, and it’s time.⠀ ⠀ We have the potential for fresh starts, new beginnings, surprising opportunities that can take us in unexpected directions and into unanticipated places.⠀ ⠀ But only if we are willing to open ourselves up to the possibilities, to not let the past continue to define us, weigh us down, keep us stuck in what used to be, what happened before, trapped on the samsaric hamster wheel of playing the same stories over and over and over again only to the detriment of ourselves while the rest of the world seems to have moved on without us.⠀ ⠀ We need to complete the healing process so that we can start growing, moving, doing, progressing, evolving again.⠀ ⠀ We’re likely to be able to express ourselves more patiently, openly, freely, fearlessly. Let the heart speak rather than the head. Let go of finding the right words or the perfect way to say something … just express, in all its raw, imperfect, pure form.⠀ ⠀ Image : Whispering Tarot⠀ ⠀ #tarot #card #reading #tarotscopes #cardoftheday #tarotbyhic #hic #divination #oracle #reversed #three #swords #air #laydownyourburdens #forward #ready #healing #heart

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 1 Samuel 2:3 Talk to the living God today, that you may be healed. #healing #knowsallthings #YAH #laydownyourburdens #Saturday
