The Lie: not doing everything is not doing anything

The last waning days of summer are passing me by and yet I find myself conflicted whether I want them to speed up or to slow way down. This summer was a new experience for me, my first being back at home for an extended period of time since starting at OBU. Compared to my normal responsibilities at school, I have done very little this summer, content with spending my days either working, scrapbooking, reading, or hanging out with friends and family. I'm so used to having to schedule my day around all the place I have to be or things I have to do, slowing down and not having my standard "list" feels like I haven't accomplished anything. And I think that's where my problem lays, in my mind not doing everything is not doing anything. My ever present struggle shows its ugly face once again, this time with a huge stenciled "CONTENTMENT" painted across its forehead. I need to be happy where I am right now, today. The Lord had me working my butt off last summer at Falls Creek and that's where He wanted me to be. This summer He had me stay home, and that's ok too. I am so blessed in both "worlds" that I am apart of, I should never take that for granted.
