Busy, Busy, Busy

Busy, Busy, Busy

I have been so busy and just have not had the time to sit back and blog. Between work, family, church, ministry, hockey and a part-time job, my plate if full. Believe it or not, I am loving every minute of it. The thing that I have to ask myself a lot times is, is my busyness barren? In other words, is my busyness barring or producing fruit?

Let's see:
Family? - of course, I sow a lot, they need me and it produces a loving Godly home for us all.
Work? - of course, I have to eat, and sleep - it produces food and shelter
Church? - of course, again, I have to eat - it produces strategies for surviving every day life.
Ministry? - of course, it's an addiction - and, it produces souls.
Hockey? - of course, my child's special interest - it produces scholarships, or NHL positions, or better yet, it teaches my son about discipline, teamwork, etc. (plus he's getting exercise)
Part-time job? of course, my son is in private Christian school. - it produces and enforces the biblical education that he needs for personal and academic growth which will subsequently play into his future.

So I want to think that my busyness is barring some fruit. And, it is not about me doing stuff, but it's more about me making my life count for something as I sow into others.

I thank God for the opportunity.
