Time often seems like our enemy - like we’re running a race we cannot win. “There’s so much to do and so little time…” I’m pretty sure we’ve all said that before, and sometimes the deadlines were facing are very real. But I know many of my deadlines are self-imposed - expectations I’ve put upon myself that are artificial. Sure, they’re designed to help me be motivated and keep me on track for my goals, but what do I do when they make me feel like I’m not enough… or that I’ve failed?
That’s when I need to stop (if you know me, then you know this isn’t easy for me because my speed is “go.”). I need to wait on the Lord, follow His timeline and get in step with Him. Sometimes I get out of step simply because I am focused on my goal and my calling instead of Jesus.
