Serve. That was my answer. And I knew it before I was even half way up the mountain. My busy life is not going to change, so how I react to it and how I view it is what I’ll have to fix. “Busy is a mindset,” is what I keep telling myself. And it is. The opposing force of busy is to serve, to give myself. I can do that in simple ways right now in my own home by changing my mindset on the things I do for my kids. I’m going to make them dinner whether I like it or not, but my heart will be in a better place for them if I do it with a service mindset, choosing it out of love and willingness to give myself and my time. I think they would like that.
There are many other ways to serve that I will work on incorporating into life. People matter. “Feed my sheep.” I can give myself and still be busy all at the same time. That’s how I conquer this.
Forever grateful for a God willing to repeatedly show me the way. I hope He knows I’m determined to make it back to Him. Of course He knows. 🥰
