It is too many days since last I posted!
No excuses... but perhaps some reasons. No need to explain
it all here, but a mixture of extreme domestic busyness, a holiday (just past)
in London and a holiday (coming up soon) in Galloway, the approach of Easter, and
my ongoing weekly trips to offer consultancy to a church in Stranraer and much
more besides has totally upset my usual rhythms. And if you know me at all then
you will know how I hate my normal rhythms being upset(!) and I cease to
function effectively or happily when life feels chaotic.
But, all that said, so much of it is my choice. I could choose
to embrace the uncertainty and the more random patterns of life and choose
to find time for those things that are important.
And that is where I come to a point of wondering, pondering
and... well... not knowing.
I don’t know why (especially when life feels topsy turvey) I
do not find or make the time for the things that I know are most important,
most enriching and most life-giving; time for enjoying the sunshine, time for
friends and family, time to listen to (and play) music, time for reflection
(and blogging!) and time for God.
If there is a challenge to me this Lent it would be this
one... even when (or especially when) life feels hectic, it is important
to take time.
