The Rat Race

It is hard to believe that six weeks have already passed. I find myself struggling once again with the rat race of life. My plate is again filled with meetings, activities and events. There are lots of things going on and still more to do. I find myself struggling again with time with God. But I am better than before. It just is so easy to get caught up in the rat race.

Today I found out that my cousin passed away. He was just 21 and they believe that it was an overdose. He too was caught up in the rat race of life and when things would get to much for him he turned to drugs. What to you turn too? I pray that it is not drugs or any other thing harmful to you. It is hard for me because I see those around me in pain and I know he was in pain too. But as Christians we need to rely on one Greater than ourselves.

So a little while a go I was stressed trying to get alot of things done especially my talk for tonight at Wednesday night dinners. When I realized I need to just be with God. So I went outside and sat in the church playground. The sun was shining and the wind was blowing around me. I just took a few mintues to sit in God's presence. Boy what a differnce it made.

I know each of you are busy trying to get everything accomplished but stop a few moments and spend time with God. I know it will make a difference.

Blessing,
Kristi
