So, this past couple weeks was really busy for me, I didn’t even realize that the month of May is almost over. Called in for work, preparing HH and workshop, and sisters birthday are some of the things that made my life little hectic than usual in a short period of time.
Because of these events, I failed to give myself some form of rest. So, when I felt exhausted by the end of the day I forget or lose the motivation to talk to God(pray) because in some way in my head I wanted some “me time”. I realize now that it was very selfish of me because God would never or will never say no or push us aside if He is tired. If you think about all His sufferings, He still thought about us during those times, and with all the prayers in the world He still listens and gives time to everyone and that’s amazing!
Being a Catholic, I know and I’ve been told that is not easy but I know it’s worth it so I just need to remind myself again and again to be stronger and push through because the person that I’m doing for is worth the struggle.
I know this reflection is not the out of the ordinary. Everyone has experience some shape or form when life gets busy, you forget God a little, blinded by the “real world” because you forget to stop and take in what God has been constantly blessing you. Even though we may be warned or told many times to push through and be strong it’s easy to fall through that hole and not realize it resulting to be harder to get out of the whole once you realize you’re too deep.
We need to be able to recognize once we start losing God in our perspective and remind ourselves the reason why we have our life, our “busy lives”, is because of Him. So, let’s give him the time and praise that He deserve and blessing that need to be thank.
