Life at Warp Speed

I always think that after Christmas, things will slow down. And then I think, after Easter, things slow down. Now I am just hoping that after July, things will slow down. Working the two jobs and teaching Sunday School, there are often weeks that go by without a day off. It is then that I get discouraged and quite frankly, a bit cranky. I start looking at "how easy" everyone has it. I get frustrated with the kids in my Sunday School class for not reacting to lesson like I had hoped. I mean really - I took the time to prepare the lesson and all they have to do is listen and react the way I want them to - is that really asking too much :).

I wonder why we allow out lives to get so busy. Over and over Christ would take time to spend with just God. The scriptures will talk about how he would preach and teach all day and then he would go off alone. I wonder if my life would be less complicated if I took more time alone with God.
