Interruptions – Blessings in Disguise
Interruptions! Lately they seem to be making up ¾ of my days! Babysitting grandchildren, caring for elderly parents, driving hither and thither, dealing with new medications and their side effects on my loved ones… that’s my list! I bet yours is different, but just as long.
Those interruptions have led me to make changes in my writing schedule – cutting back here, pushing off there. At first, I was rather sad about it. But then God reminded me that “my ways are not His ways” but His ways are always best.
Shortly thereafter, I decided to get serious about that book I’d been wanting to write but didn’t have time to start. So I created a new page in Evernote for book notes, started carrying around a notebook again when out on errands, and am praying for God to give me wisdom as I work on this, as well as use me how HE wants to. It may still take awhile, but I will keep persevering in this dream that I truly believe God has given to me.
How about you? What is interrupting you right now? Is it “closing a door, but opening a window?” We’d love to hear!
Dear Father, I don’t understand why there seem to be more and more interruptions and I’m not accomplishing all I feel I should be. But I know that I am in Your hands and that I want Your will. I pray that You would lead me in Your Ways, trusting you and praising You at all times. Amen.
