I’ve been struggling a little. I think it started with a busy schedule that took me out of town for nine days out of the last two weeks. I’m sure there was also stress coming from the holiday season itself and the impending family relationships and dynamics. Tonight I returned from visiting family in the San Francisco area.
Although I’m relieved that the visit went well, I’m also aware of feeling more distant from God. I’m realizing that in my business and anxiety, I probably pulled away from God. When times got hard, I instinctively and unconsciously behaved as though I could handle things on my own. So I’m also starting this week aware that I have another out of town trip in a few days – but also the awareness that I need to make time to be with my Father.
