Rush, rush, rush...that's usually the jest of my days here lately. Today is the first day of the new month so my day is already laid out for me. I work for attorneys so I have to bill all of their work for the month of September. They each meticulously hand write their day each and every day and I sit and enter each entry into a program and wa-la they client is billed.
.
As I sit here staring at all the time entries that will make up my day I'm wondering what my time sheets would look like if I had to write down each and every moment of my day. Hmmm... Wake up .5 (usually takes me a good 30 minutes to actually get out of the bed)...Take a shower .5 (another 30 minutes ensures that my eyes are fully awake)...Get dressed .5 (I'm a quick dresser-upper I must admit)...Yell at the kids .2 (you would see this entry alot throughout the day)...Drive to work .75 (a 25 mile commute takes me 45 minutes!! Birmingham traffic is the best I tell you!!)...Walk into the building .25 (you know we do it in Birmingham...park a mile away from our actual offices)...Clock-in .1...Chit-chat with neighbors .5...Go get something to drink .2...Chit-chat with neighbors walking back to my desk .2...Read e-mails .3...Perform daily tasks 5.0 (although I work an 7 1/2 hour day I'm being honest...I don't work that entire time)...Drive home .75...Yell at the kids .2...Cook supper 1.0...Yell at the kids .2...Watch t.v. 2.0...Yell at the kids .2...Get ready for bed .5...Yell at the kids .2... Go to bed .1...Yell at kids telling them to go to bed .2...
.
Hmmm...there is my time entries for the day. I've done it all haven't I? Life has really been throwing me curve balls left and right here these past few weeks/months and I have noticed a trend with me. My time with the Lord is getting smaller and smaller to being non-existent. Oh I pray, I grab a word here and there but I don't hang out with Him.

There is many scripture about us waiting on the Lord, being patient, wait, wait, wait, but He remains the same, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8. (NLT).
