Homework.

I graduated from high school. I graduated from college. I should be done with ‘homework,’ but somehow I find myself with homework! I don’t have enough to do. I’ll work my day/night job, I’ll write for my nonprofit, I’ll write for freelance when they need me, I’ll be a personal assistant to a special needs teacher, and then I’ll watch 4 year olds once a month. What else can I get myself committed to? Maybe a gym membership? Maybe a coaching position? Let’s see what happens next, shall we? Maybe my candle will burnout before it I can light the other end!

Why do I feel this senseless need to keep myself busy? Perhaps it is so I don’t sit home, alone thinking about all the fun activities I’m missing out because of my “responsibilities” and “commitments.” Really these entanglements only serve as a distraction until I find the distraction I want.

God, give me the peace to be content with where You have me and where You want me.
