Keeping Up

I know I know keeping up with a blog should not be very difficult, but go ahead and try it, you'll find that it's not that easy. Rebecca and I were talking the other day, we do much of that these days:) and realized that our day to day life was not very normal, it changes, shifts and looks different all the time. As a result routine which is something teachers get very used to has been somewhat tossed out the window. A typical week for example will have us in the town centre on Monday morning for prayer, then coffee with a friend. Often then we'll be home for the afternoon with either a men's discipleship group meeting or a leaders meeting at night. Tuesday's usually don't have too much although yesterday I was visiting a friend, we had lunch guests followed by a planning meeting, then we're going to see a Abi from KBC (that was pushed off until today) then we fit in a walk between the raindrops, a leftover based supper and a leaders meeting at night. Today now for example I am not leaving the house hardly at all, but know of 3 people stopping in at some point. All of this to show that routine is all but impossible for us to fall into, so things like writing consistently, playing guitar consistently, keeping up with friends all over the globe consistently fall away a bit, hopefully not too much though. One aspect of life that we are desperatetly trying to maintain is the idea of not being busy, but rather being intentional with our time and sometimes that means being busy but not running on a hamster wheel to accomplish it all. I realize there are only so many hours in a week, and Rome wasn't built in a day. With all that being said, i ought to get a move on with the day, working on a message for Sunday from I Kings 17:1 where Elijah confronts Ahab, oh it is soooo juicy, what a great kickoff to amazing stories from the Old Testament. So have a wonderful and find some time to step out of your routine and do something different!
