Over the years my husband and I have
collected a lot of movies and t.v. series. At the point we reached about 300, I
decided to start a database to have a way to sort through what we have to find
what you want. It sorts through titles, runtime, rating, genre and actors. Want
to see a movie in under 1 ½ hours, or a movie with Denzel Washington, or a
scifi, it can be done in a jiffy. Keeping the actual movies in alphabetical
order is quite a task. Every now and then they must be checked because others
do not put them back properly. Also, accommodations must be made for new movies
which occasionally means shifting the collection.
My life can become just as messy
sometimes. Often it is because I don’t take the time to keep up my health, my
sleep, proper eating, and most of all, my spirit food: Bible, prayer, worship, devotions…
It seems to free up my life only a short time, but then the later mess is more
difficult to clear up. It isn’t just the messes that happen out of my choices,
but family and friends can cause chaos to ensue. And we all know- life just
happens and wrenches are thrown into the day.
Exhaustion falls and I am not
done this post, so I will attempt to work faster before I fall asleep at the
desk.
Often I wish I could sort through my life
as easy as the database and find the things I need to accomplish what I want.
It doesn’t seem to work that way though. This morning I was beset with imminent
issues due to my own procrastination. Enter in a family problem that took many
texts and phone calls. Then a big mess needed cleaning up and I had to leave
early for volunteer work. It was all too much. I am weary now and tomorrow
starts early, but this promise brings hope to my life today- tonight.
Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you
rest.
