I keep thinking about the devotions on Thursday and the part that keeps coming back to me is the letter D. Do 1 thing at a time. Oh, can I relate to multi tasking and its dangers. I used that as a survival technique for many years of my life. Super Mom, Super Woman. I tried to do everything and for the most part it was so that I didn't have time to stop and really examine myself and how I was feeling. I had read a bible verse the day of that talk and it was about praying in a quiet place. Taking time alone with the Lord and being quiet and listening to what He had to say. Not just talking and asking what I wanted. Being constantly in prayer is easy because it falls into a multitasking life and you can do the "surface living" without really allowing God to talk to you. I have been convicted of this many times and I am learning that living "in the moment" is so much important. Being fully present in everything you take on. I guess that is proper stewardship of our time eh? Whether it is time with God, or time with our kids, we can't do both properly at the same time. Sure there are things that we can multitask. I can watch TV and knit at the same time. I can even eat and read at the same time. I have this weird fear of wasting time and therefore I think in terms of multitasking all of the time. Then I end up with a numb brain and I can't remember anything that I really accomplished. Ever get that way?
