Information Overload

I noticed Friday as I mentored with Drew that I need to pray more for people. Get into their lives and ask God to reveal Himself in powerful ways. I also need to spend more time with God, seeking His vision for my mentoring and actions. It seems like I am simply trying to tread water most of the time. It’s like being on an information overload that is drowning me. I am reading for HUGSR, Jmen, Locke mentoring, class prep, and mentoring prep. So much information is going in that I don’t have time to process it and it affects my ministry abilities as well. I struggle with focusing on the moment and my priorities and my thoughts drift instead of being engaged. I attribute this to all the information that is floating around in my head. So I began to pray before getting out of bed every morning; thanking God for the day and asking for the help of the Spirit in my activities and priorities. My hope is that I will focus on the priorities and realize that I don’t have to do everything and I don’t have to do it to perfection.
