Just another reminder about making the Lord a priority.
Today was going to be a busy day. I had a lot of things to do at home, laundry to do, had some shopping that I had to do, wanted to go to the gym and had some phone calls to make. The phone calls were what I was dreading. Well really one of the phone calls. I needed some information from someone. I needed this information before I could make all the other phone calls. She was supposed to have gotten me this information by Friday. But it was Monday and I still didn't have it. I needed to call her. I really didn't want to call her. I figured I would wait until the afternoon and hope that she called before then.

The morning was quite productive. I was putting on my shoes to take the laundry downstairs I realized that it was 11:45am. I had just enough time to put the laundry in the washer and get to daily mass downtown and be back to put the laundry in the dryer. I wasn't planning on going to daily mass today but the timing worked out perfectly. But I still had so much to do. And I still had those phone calls to make. But the timing was perfect. So I put the laundry in the washer and jumped in the car to go to mass. As I walked across the parking lot I silenced my phone as I always do.

Daily mass was amazing as it always is. As I parked my car back home I realized that I had not turned my phone back on. I quickly looked at it and noticed that I had not received the phone call that I was waiting for. Oh well I guess I was going to have to call her. I hoped that she had the information that I needed because if she didn't I was going to have a lot more work to do. Did I mention that I hate calling people on the phone. I put the laundry in the dryer and walked up stairs. I looked around for the piece of paper that had her phone number. As I pulled it out my phone I noticed that it was silently ringing (because I had not turned the ringer back on yet). I recognized the number, it was the same number that was on the paper that I was holding. Finally she was calling! I was so relieved! Did I mention that I don't like calling people.
I was just as productive throughout the rest of the day. Got my work done at home, went to the gym, bought the perfect gift, did not get too overwhelmed by the mall and even had time to write this post.
Once again when I put my work, my worries and my fears aside and spent time with the Lord my work, my worries and my fears were made less.
It is at times like these that I remember what a good friend of mine used to say:
"Make time for God, he will make time for everything else."
Dear Lord, Help me to make you a priority.
Have you ever had a similar experience?
