I just spent 1/2 hour typing a long reply to the anonymous commenter who asked:

A little confused. BUSY would be the mondane things not need in our lives. How does sowing the seeds with other Christians fall in to BUSY.?


The thing is I can't really answer it without getting into a whole lot of other stuff.  And I can't do that because I will certainly offend people, albeit unintentional.

Suffice to say, that I think as Christians we often loose sight of the best things because we become distracted and BUSY (Brought Under Satan's Yoke) with the things that are merely good.

I have been a very BUSY Christian for years doing church 3x a week, being involved in a multitude of ministries.  My kids were a mess, I was a mess.  It wasn't until this past winter when our lives went through some radical changes that I began to look at church from a very different perspective.

It is a blessing to see the changes in my children, and my attitude toward them.  This does not mean we've forsaken church or assembling with other believers.  It does mean it's changed how we do it and more importantly why we do it.

Even this is probably more than I should have said. 

Let me however close with this.  Sowing seed is important, but not at the expense of our own children.  Not at the expense of our own personal walk with the Lord.  We don't have to look for opportunities to sow seeds.  The Lord truly presents them to us where we are, I've seen this in the last few months.

Blessings, MaggieRaye
