Honestly, Walter's last post made me really think. How busy am I really?? I'm pretty sure that's not quite what he was getting at and I may have missed the point entirely, but that's what I thought. I sat down and I thought about all of my "busyness" and as I really looked at it I have a bunch of what I'm calling "fillers". I mean sure don't get me wrong I have a lot going on in my life, school, work, family time, and the list goes on and on. But if I were to condense my schedule and take out all of those fillers ie. Facebook, T.V., AIM etc. I realized that there are a lot of those in my life. I mean don't get me wrong, I think all of these are fine activities but for me personally I think I use them to make my day "look" busy.
When I thought about it in terms of looking busy I realized that I had a lot of missed opportunities to be listening, but as I thought about it more I wondered if I was actually avoiding those moments. I mean sure I pray and I think I'm pretty sure what I'm called to do with my life, but I seem to be really "busy" not leaving a whole lot of time for some listening my daily life for any changes in direction or just to simply help grow my relationship with God.
