(Yes, and the pastor) I\u2019ve been contemplating <em>busyness<\/em> this week. Why is it that when we are busy, when our schedule fills up to astronomical <em>busyness<\/em>, the first thing we shove out of our lives is God? My schedule has gotten fuller, what with me still being in high school and starting a job, but I don\u2019t want my inability to manage time to affect my relationship with God. I\u2019ve found that whenever my life gets busy, I shove God to the back burner and say, \u201cI know you\u2019re there, and I\u2019ll come back to you, but just wait for me to get my life under control. Once everything is peaceful again I\u2019ll come to you.\u201d Yet Jesus is the giver of peace. <em>Perfect<\/em> peace. So why would I wait? That\u2019s my encouragement for this week: don\u2019t wait. Instead of waiting for peace to just happen to you, seek out the source of perfect peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently started working the secretary\/office position at Duchess Mennonite Church.
