T Time

Do you ever feel like you want to push a big PAUSE button on your life so you can take a breath? Or have you felt that even a vacation wouldn't help you because the very nature of a vacation is that it has to end at some point? Yeah, me too. There's a word for that feeling -- overwhelmed.

As I figure out how to have a new "normal" in my life and Clay's I've felt overwhelmed. Two jobs, single dad, new home, new car, new life...where does that "normal" word fit into all this?

Here's the thing: it doesn't.

What I've found is that the only thing that never changes is God. He's the one constant. He is faithful to me despite my feelings towards Him on any given day. He's faithful to me despite my circumstances. He's faithful to me despite my sense of being consistently overwhelmed. He's faithful to me despite my sin. He's faithful to me despite my insecurities. He's faithful to me.

So I'm trying something new. I've come up with a thing called "T Time" to help me get through each day. What's the "T" you ask?

"T" in the Greek alphabet is "tau". This was used as a symbol for life or resurrection by the ancient Greeks. So my "T Time" is simply "life" or "resurrection" time. It's a time of renewal. A time of examining how God is faithful to me every day. I wake up in the morning trying to think of a way to get some "T Time" in my day. It doesn't happen every day which makes it that more special when I do get it. It's my personal time with the one who loves me most. Once "T Time" is done that overwhelming life-grind doesn't seem so bad.

The life-grind serves a purpose. It gets me to my next "T Time".

Thank you God for "T Time"!!!
