Breaking Busy: Stop Expecting God to Bless Your ‘Busyness’ & Do This Instead
Find rest my soul in God alone
I’m constantly reminded that we live in such an ambition-driven culture. Whether it’s at home, at work, in business or even at church we can so easily, sometimes without even realising it, become slaves to striving.
Too often, we define our success by our to-do lists and endlessly trying to earn the approval of others by our activity and appearance.
As women, it can be such a pressure to look at those around us and think they’ve got it all together. Convinced that we too, if we try hard enough, can miraculously transform into ‘Wonder Woman’ minus the cape!
Sound familiar?
Well let’s take a moment to be honest and put this fantasy to rest: NONE of us have got it all together.
There have been many times in my life where I’ve become such an expert at doing simply the best swan impression ever witnessed – making it look like everything is cool, calm and collected on the surface. Underneath, my feet have been flailing chaotically trying desperately to keep me afloat.
Can I be completely honest here? Living like that is nothing short of exhausting and it’s exactly the opposite of how we were created to do life.
