Dealing with the "Antsy"

In the past month,
we have gone from full throttle
to full on stop.

It is an odd feeling.

It is easy to feel useless.
It is easy to waste time.

But I was reminded as I work on memory in Galatians,
there is a time just to wait.
Paul was miraculously saved on the road to Emmaus.
He had his orders.
He was more than qualified and trained.
He could have taken the world by storm as soon as he regained his sight.
But God had plans for him for 3 years away from the action.

It is easy to get antsy when I am used to the hustle and bustle.
But there is so much to learn in the stillness.
There are quieter ministries.
There are people who are easily overlooked in busy-ness.
There is learning that needs to take place.
And there is a refocusing and recharging that is easier in the peace.
