It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under”
When we “allow” life to take rule, things get out of sorts. When we don’t “make time” to take care of what’s really important, our life gets tangled up and runs amuck. It becomes like a jungle out there. This is my garden. It is a HOTT Mess because “I” have not made time to take care of it. I have just let it do what it do the best it can do. It’s like a jungle out there! This is my garden. I am too embarrassed to show you my house! Thank God for the rest of the family taking care of that. And my work life…OMG…it’s not “like” a jungle…it IS the jungle!
Anywho, in times like these, we must be intentional about spending quality time with our loved ones and the things that are most important, including ourselves. We put everything except our time with God, our family and the important causes in our life on our ToDo lists. These things must move to the top of our ToDo list. We must identify those things that are non-negotiable and hold fast to those, even if there are consequences. Now listen. I’m not being unrealistic. We all know there are times when you have to put life on pause. But there must be a beginning and an end to those pauses. We must communicate with our family and friends and solicit their support so that they know what we’re going through and that they are going to be impacted by the crazy. But this must be a “pause” and not a lifestyle.
Make time for what’s important! Don’t let your pauses become a lifestyle.
“Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under”
Happy Sunday Saints!
