It is at those moments that we must live by faith, asking God for wisdom and believing that He will never lead in the wrong direction. It is our hope that each article on the blog will encourage you to keep enjoying the journey…and look for Jesus along the way.

There is too much haste in the home today. Hurry steals the heart away. Busyness is an action. Hurry is an attitude. Those who work hard and desire the best are going to be busy. But in our busyness we must not hurry past the Lord and those we love. Urgency is not living at a faster pace; it is living with properly placed priorities.   It is significant that twice in the New Testament the Holy Spirit reminds us to "redeem the time" (Ephesians 5:16; Colossians 4:5). In both instances the command is given in context of the family. The word "redeem" reminds us that someone owns our time. We have to buy it back. Who controls your schedule? What possesses your time? Our God is the God of eternity and the only One who never wastes time. Article talking about being too busy.
