On this first day of May, I feel the need to recommit to a fresh perspective. A perspective of taking time each morning to take a deep breath and consider how God would desire me to order my day’s activities.
I want to live purposefully and spend time on what is truly important. I don’t want to be at the beck and call of every single urgent matter. Sometimes the things that I may consider urgent really aren’t important. For instance, if my laundry is basically caught up, it may not be important to finish that last load right this minute. Every chore doesn’t have to be done to perfection because…well…perfection never happens. There’s always something more that I may feel needs doing.
This is when taking a deep breath and considering what God may want me to do. Does He want me to spend time with a person instead of doing a chore? Does He want me to write someone a letter that might encourage them? Does He want me to apologize to someone? Or does He simply want me to take a walk, breathe in more breaths of fresh air, and renew my spirit by taking in His creation of nature?
Not everything that feels urgent is important.
