Hectic Life

I lead a HECTIC life... 
I mean seriously, between pulling splinters out of Simon's rear, 
helping Temperance spell and draw hearts, 
making sure Andrew doesn't attack the dog with a rake because he's the "Red Panther", 
ensuring that Judah, Levi and Emma do their school, getting to work on time, 
getting to church at Medart Assembly on time and still remembering to feed the kids!! 
Not to mention getting the house and laundry at least partially done so Mamma doesn't have a panic attack when she gets home! 
It gets exhausting... Lonely. Hard. Stressful.. Pointless??

What is the point of it? I mean sure some poor kid in Africa has it worse, yaddah yaddah yaddah.. 
But this is MY life, I live in America where I should get what I want, when I want it and how I want it! 
Why work when I can protest?? Me, Me, ME. That's what life's supposed to be all about right??
What's the point of helping Tempi write her name? She'll just forget by tomorrow. 
Why should I be the one to bandage Simon's wounds?? He's just going to go right back outside and get another one. 
Is there any PURPOSE behind all these things I do that they just forget about in the blink of an eye??

I'm sure if you're reading this you've had similar thoughts/pity parties. You've had times where you think you're ALONE in the world, no one REALLY cares, no one COMPLETELY understands what's going on.

Truth is everyone has their own little hectic life. Not just you, not just me. And when having these little pity parties we are missing some of the most important moments in our lives! Not because we aren't there for them but because we have the wrong attitude. 
Instead of being concerned for the injured brother or excited for the learning sister we've become APATHETIC towards them. 
Ever heard the phrase "I've got my own problems!"? Or how about "I'm busy."and "Whatever."? 
Those are apathetic and self-centered phrases. 
Sorry to break it to you, but the world doesn't revolve around you and it definitely doesn't revolve around me! 
It revolves around the Word of God. Seriously! God is so much more awesome than you or I that He steps out of time, out of space and forget having the world revolve around Him all he needs is voice activation!
He has given us so many opportunities to glorify Him and make great memories, but we just let them pass by. Look around you!
Take a step out of your "Me Zone" and look at this hectic life God has given you and ask yourself a question. 
What are you gonna do with it?
