The busyness of life is a killer. It is so easy to get caught up in the urgent things of today, that I neglect the most truly important thing. I often look at my life and feel as if I am just treading water, waiting on the next thing. I am beginning to learn that life is made up of the times of waiting, and that if I am not obedient in those times I am not being obedient at all. It's time for me to stop waiting and get going now. I need to realize that today is what I have been given to serve Christ with, not a series of tomorrows that may never come. I have come to realize that being a good dad is hugely important, however demonstrating how awesome my God is by living a radically sacrificial life is what's really important.
