Life just has a way of adding to our already packed schedule. It&#8217;s not easy to step back and evaluate our level of activity and it&#8217;s purpose. However, it is important to analyze our busyness because if we are not careful it can lead to real harm in our lives.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Busyness harms relationships when it focuses on task.<\/li>\n<li>Busyness can drain you physically and mentally.<\/li>\n<li>Busyness can keep you from the spiritual disciplines.<\/li>\n<li>Busyness can cause you to rely upon self instead of God.<\/li>\n<li>Busyness can leave you feeling anxious.<\/li>\n<li>Busyness without a plan is never-ending and may cause you to lose hope.<\/li>\n<li>Busyness\u00a0without rest can led to burnout.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How to stay busy like Jesus<\/h2>\n<p>Often the problem isn&#8217;t just in how much we are doing but how we are doing it and why we are doing it. The Gospels show us that Jesus was\u00a0a busy man. He worked hard, got tired and even once slept in a boat in the middle of a storm!<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Jesus also approached his work in a unique way that made it possible for him to work hard without becoming overwhelmed, anxious or burnt out.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Jesus was busy but he took time to rest and pray. Mark 6:31<\/li>\n<li>Jesus was busy but he stopped to talk to children and the outcasts. Mat 19:14<\/li>\n<li>Jesus was busy but he didn&#8217;t try to do everything.<\/li>\n<li>Jesus was busy but he took one day at a time. Mat 6:34<\/li>\n<li>Jesus was busy but he focused on the Kingdom of God instead of just getting another task done. Mat 6:33<\/li>\n<li>Jesus was busy doing the Father&#8217;s will, not his own. John 6:38<\/li>\n<li>Jesus was busy but his tasks were planned and purposeful.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019ve come to the conclusion that, with rare exceptions, the godly person is a busy person. The godly person is devoted to God and to people, and that leads to a full life. Though never frantic in pace, Jesus was a busy man.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00IDHWG2M\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00IDHWG2M&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=sukfam-20&amp;linkId=IYR7TSCKXPITLCIY\" target=\"_blank\">-Donald Whitney &#8220;The Spiritual Disciplines&#8221;<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Updates<\/h2>\n<h4>Pray for Ukraine<\/h4>\n<p>I want to thank everyone who has given toward the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/support\/ukraine-crisis-fund\/\">Ukraine Relief Fund.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0These funds are continually being used to aid churches in the war zone and refugees outside of the war zone!<\/p>\n<p>Over the last week reports have come in that there are again large movements of Russian troops crossing the border into Ukraine.
