This week

So I was thinking about what I wanted to write about this week for a few days now, and it has already made me put some things into action.

Let me explain. Like most people, being stuck at home now, I am eating too much; I stay up late (I’m a night owl) and so sleeping in really late too. I am working on the things I wanted to. I have things to pant and stuffed animals to make that I plan to sell at Farmer’s Market later this year. I also have a puzzle that I finally worked on again and listened to a book online too. I’m an introvert, so being home, alone, does not bother me at all. There is the mind game that makes use all worry, but I feel like I’m doing better with that too. But in all that, I still had days where I either felt like I did good, or days where I felt like I had just wasted the whole day. (A few too were I just didn’t care and either way.) But all of that is based on works and feelings. Feelings are not a good indicator of how you are really doing, and life is not about works either. But I can’t be the only one who struggles with this mentality.

So I got to thinking about what should I be focusing on. Well, what are suppose to be the rocks in my life? Well, one is my faith in Christ. Nothing has happened to change that, and I feel I am doing ok there (that can always be worked on.) But what else? Well, friends and family, and Church family too and fellowship with the body of believers. These are things that are important to me, but I also need to work on them. I already said I’m introvert. Well, being stuck at home, how am I suppose to reach out and spend time with people when I’m not suppose to be around people. It would be easy to use this as an excuse to not do anything. I can’t get with people so I can’t really be with them or do anything about it. But in this day and age that is clearly not true. We have so many ways to reach out to people and even talk to them without being face to face. I’ve sent out a few texts to different people today and trying to connect as I can. It likely won’t be easy (at least for me), but I can do it. I might try making cookies yet too to give away. (Not sure if this is ok or a good idea or not but hey, I can give it a shot.)

Another rock is my writing, and so I have pulled it out of my purse and well be trying to write a little every day too.

The things I have been doing are not bad by any means, but I can work on other things too. Part of what I have felt throughout this week is that I am not doing enough in the day. I sleep in way late, work on some projects, and waste a lot of time on the computer. In truth there is a lot more I could be doing in a day. But at the same time, I was asking myself what. And it’s not a bad thing to have some lazy time now and again, especially at this time when there is so much downtime. In the end, I think it’s all a balancing act. That and having the right attitude.

So this week I pray I will focus on doing the things I should, not worry about the things that don’t matter, and keep Christ at the center of my life and put my rocks in first of the jar of my life.

I hope you can do the same. God Bless.
