Worry ≠ Faith

Why does life get so busy and stressful sometimes? It's so easy to find yourself running all over the place, from one commitment to the next, without a moment to come up for fresh air and a breath. I'm an overachiever so it's easy for me to get wrapped up in a number of things. I work a full-time job, play on a softball team, volunteer on the production team at my church, lead a young adult small group, and tons more. Sometimes I get so busy going from one thing to the next that I start to lose focus on what's important - which is taking time for God each day. Yes, I talk to God all throughout my day when I'm in my car on my way to work, or listening to worship music like K-Love. But I mean really take some time for God...actually stop in the middle of my busy day to just rest in Him, tell him I love him, and remember that He is in full control of my life. I struggle a lot to stay consistent with my quiet times with the Lord and with consistent Bible reading. I can tell when I have been a few days without the Word - I start to get stressed and filled with anxiety and the thoughts in my mind start to process frantically.
