I was driving to work this morning. Talking to God and thinking, "man, another day, another SAME routine, another drive with idiot drivers, another, another, another. On a side note, I really do not mind the drive each morning. This is my view 😁
Do you ever feel the monotony of daily life wears on you? The routine of being a mom, a provider, a husband, a wife, a friend, a pastor, can be, well, routine?
Do you ever just say, man, what can I do to change up this routine? I am so guilty of doing the same things day after day. Insane, yes I know but are we not all doing that?
I get up, every morning, and when the alarm clock rings, I behave like this:
My routine begins.
Coffee first, nothing else can function in my morning without it! What is that function you use in the morning to get you going before you can "face" the day? Me, I say, please do not engage until...
Coffee, sort of wake up, and then, bathroom time, dress, pack breakfast/lunch, grab backpack, head out the door, lock door, say, "wow it's humid this a.m." get in car, turn on AC immediately, plug in phone so I can enjoy nice music on my 20+ min drive to work.
GEESH that idiot just cut me off...oh wait, you did not want that kind of real talk, but you know me.
After my drive into work, I park, walk my 10 minutes to work, enter work and work until lunch.
At lunch time, I try to read my bible and/or prayer time.
I go off into my little conference room and look out from the 20th floor and I get to see the Hillsborough River and the Tampa Bay. It's so funny when you see the storm clouds on the horizon and the kayakers, paddleboarders and boats rush into the bay to beat out the storm. Oh wait, isn't it a No WAKE zone? OH never mind, they do not care since they do not want to get struck by lighting. Who is monitoring that anyway?
After lunch, I continue to work until I leave at 5:30. I Uber until 7:30 or 8:00. See why I get over drivers quick? I spend a lot of time in my car.
Now it's relax time, right? I get home, try to unwind, scarf dinner and try to relax with some TV.
But no, Podcast duty calls. If you only knew how many hours I spend on this show to make sure you all like it and stay engaged, I'd probably have more than 20 views.
After all of that work, it's off to bed. Pop my Olly night time gummies and in a few short minutes...
I am knocked out...ready to do it ALLLL over again
I feel routines take away what is needed most in my life. Time with Jesus. Fellowship with the very one who knows me. Fellowship with my best friend! Again, I pray, it's the reading time I lack!
I am honest and organic. I say all of this because I am wondering, do you feel as if you are WAY to Busy?
How do you keep God first in the busy?
I mean, my thoughts race when I know I have a lot to do. Do yours?
I read the word but only for a short amount of time.
I do honestly pray a lot! That is one thing I cannot go without on a daily basis.
- Well if you are not too busy (pun intended) feel free to comment and let me know what your daily routine is like.
- How do you insert prayer and Bible reading into it.
Now, if you do not work, please understand, with all due respect, you have time that most of us wish we had. You can do what most of us cannot.
That comment is NOT for any stay at home moms. You work...all the time and it never ends.
Routines, routines routines, one day, I won't be so busy!
