Prioritizing and Decisions

I guess my worst fault is getting involved in so many things and having to make a decision about what to leave undone and what to finish. I just thought I would try to prioritize this day for my own help.

I've already cooked breakfast for Mike and Grandma and I, taken Grandma's up to her, eaten, gotten Mike off to work, talked to Shawn for a second, read his post, done my Bible reading and a little reading on one of my books.

Ahead of me lay several projects: making phone calls for the business; finishing posting the month of May, both invoices and deposits; posting the checkbook which is behind since the end of February so this will be several hours of work that I keep putting off; cleaning the kitchen from breakfast; cleaning out the refrigerator; attempting to repair the water dispenser (I have already printed out instructions on what to do, this project needs to be done quickly as we have no filtered water until it is done; mopping the kitchen floor, cleaning all three bathrooms, vacuming & dusting the whole house,making a trip to Wal Mart for bisquits and jelly for breakfast; getting supper fixed so that I can leave it for Mike while I go to the church for the rehersal of Bekah and Spencer's wedding at 5:00 PM; and I suppose that should wrap up the day. Intersperse that with the random phone calls and requests for errands from Grandma and letting Millie out periodically. You know, some days I just feel like I never accomplish anything. I know the reason is because the feeling of accomplishment comes when a job is finished and rarely do I ever get COMPLETELY through with a project. I need to learn to feel joy at small steps in a project!!

Now, as I sit here, still in my robe and not ready for the day at all, how do I prioritize this??? Well, maybe I need to get ready for the day FIRST!!!

I was reading the last chapter of Matthew this morning and I couldn't help but get a feeling of excitement at how the disciples must have felt to have known the deep discouragement of losing their Messiah to such a horrible death. And even though he had told them on several occasions that he would arise, I think they were completely surprised by seeing Him again. Can you even imagine the joy that arose in their hearts at seeing Him standing there in His glorified body and speaking to them once more!! Such hope we have that in the middle of our busyness we realize that the Lord could come back so quickly and we would behold Him, standing there before us, in His glorified body!! Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus!!!
