“Just Hurry!”

The feeling of not having enough time creates anxiety in me and causes me to hurry. As I’ve grown older I’ve gotten some better, but in my younger years when I was working full time and the boys were little, it felt like I was always in a hurry. Hurry to pick up the kids, hurry up and go to the grocery store and hurry to fix dinner. One time I was in such a hurry I put both contacts in the same eye…one on top of the other! I’ll never forget how my youngest son at age 4 described me. He said, “When Mama gets mad she gets in a hurry.” I know that came from those mornings when it seemed impossible to get 2 kids from the kitchen to the car without some kind of delay. Many times just as we were getting ready to leave someone would either loose a shoe, spill their cheerios or have to go to the bathroom. So… I would clinch my teeth and say…”JUST HURRY!” I’m so glad God never gets in a hurry with us. He willingly takes the time to listen, watch and guide us. His timing is perfect. He can even make up for lost time.

But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands. Psalm 31:14-15
