God's Schedule

Not too long ago I wrote about God's timing. I had realized we all need to give up out time to God. Let him fill in the day for us. It's amazing how things will fall into place. I'm learning-because I guess I'm just slow or something-it's the same with my schedule.
I try very hard to not over schedule. I hate when we run all day long. Or night for that matter. I love when I've figured out a schedule for the day and then I remember there's one more thing to do! That's when I really feel myself begin to simmer.
Let's face it, sometimes there are just things that have to be done. Like dental appointments. Or grocery shopping. Or laundry. Or forms that need to be filled out and signed. Or my new favorite, "Mom, my belt broke in two or three and I need a new one." Okay, yeah, I'll get right on that honey. Since I have nothing else to do.
So, like I've slowly learned about timing, I asked God for a little help. Actually, a lot of help. In his infinite wisdom, He guided me to make a general schedule. What days things really need to get done and what days are entirely nonnegotiable. It has really helped. I'm finding more pockets of time to write. This is a job. I often think if I was going to the office and had a boss what would happen? I see now God is my boss and I am responsible to Him. He gave me this talent and I need to schedule accordingly. He gave me a helpful husband and kids who don't whine too much about pitching in. I'm very grateful for that. Plus, His benefits package is pretty awesome!
