Life has been busy lately. So busy, in fact, that I haven’t taken the time to sit down and write here as often as I would like. With a baby set to arrive in just three weeks, baskets of pink onesies and fluffy blankets have swallowed me. I’ve been getting her room in order and and hosting family and having a baby shower, and life has been insane. In the midst of my normal, everyday life, I’ve been consumed by writing projects. I’ve got articles coming out in ec and myMISSIONfulfilled in September, and another article coming out in the December issue of ec. I’ve also signed a contract to write Sunday school curriculum for Clarity Publishers, and I’ve completed one of six lessons. I’m trying to crank out a couple more lessons before it’s baby time. All of that explains my recent absence. If you don’t hear from me again for a while, it probably means that the baby is here and I’m getting used to life as a new parent.
But regardless of all that is going on in my life, consuming my time and occupying my thoughts, I am still called to be about the business of God. Last week I wrote a Sunday school lesson to teach other people, but this week, the truths of the lesson keep popping up in my life. It seems that I need to teach myself the things that I wanted to teach others. It’s far too easy for me to lose sight of God in the middle of my busy-ness, and I was on the verge of turning down a wonderful opportunity to serve him because the timing is inconvenient.
