I think its good to plan ahead, but those plans and schedules always need to be at the feet of the Lord and when He wants to change things.... we need to let Him. I agree, all too often we miss what God wants to do in our lives and communities because we don't "listen". I find its a constant challenge to have my ears tuned into God......... Busyness is a consuming tidal wave! Amen…. busyness sometimes = distraction.

Is it the busy-ness that we all get caught up in? "I'm too busy to make a call to the pastor down the street?" "I'm too busy to call 5 others and plan a lunch?" (and don't all these pastors have personal assistants who make their calls for them?) One of the most prevalent ways our enemy attacks us here in America is with our overbooked schedules and sense of commitment to never deviating from said schedule. Why do we do perpetuate the myth that the schedule is more important than individuals...or even more important than the communities we profess to want to reach out to? Are we really trying to reach our communities? Or are we trying to look like pious Christians, doing a great duty for the Lord? FANTASTIC observation! Why indeed?!
