Alot of times when we go out to eat my honey likes to go to the places where they give you alot of food. Well, most of us do, don't we? You get to eat a bunch there and then take some home. There's also the "Tapas" rave that's quite fun and tasty where you get much smaller portions so you can try more varieties of food.
What about your life? Do you normally have a "Tapas" like schedule to your day or is your plate too full? My plate is always so full on Wednesdays, it's crazy. The question is...when do you push the plate away and say enough, I'll finish the rest tomorrow? Or let me just do a little of this and move on to the next thing so eventually it all gets done?
The plates in my life are constant juggling acts where I'm choosing to clean it or come back to it. I'm often asking myself what really matters? What would Jesus do? What's going to make me feel the best? Sometimes, the answer to those questions is simply that it doesn't matter and it's all up to me. Tonight I choose to leave those dishes and unfolded clothes for the next plate which is already full with it's own things, praying that God will give me peace in the midst of it all.
I guess overall what I've learned is that whether we have a life full of "Tapas" or "Too much" we're no good to anyone, even God, all run down and tired. So take a step back, breathe and BELIEVE me...those plates will still be there waiting patiently to get cleaned.
