I’m Too Busy

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people say they are too busy to do something. Anytime I hear someone say how busy they are, I cringe and pray that I am able to keep my mouth shut. But here on this blog, I can express my thoughts and hopefully get people to understand my way of thinking.

Yes, we are all busy in some way, shape or form. And while we like to think that no one is as busy as we are, we all have things going on and are busy. Just because you have different types of busy than me (you have kids and I don’t or you have to travel for work and I don’t) doesn’t mean that I am any less busy than you are.

In spite of all of this busy…if a friend calls and needs you for something, you find a way. If someone gets sick, you find a way to help. If someone has an extra ticket to the theatre, you find a way to go. In other words, despite being busy, you do any and everything that you really want to do.

My hope is that people stop hiding behind “busy” and just stand up and just say NO! There is nothing wrong with saying that you don’t want to do something…that’s your prerogative. Tell me that you don’t want to take the time to do something, or tell me that what I’m asking is not important enough to you for you to rearrange your schedule to do it. But please---don’t tell me you are too busy.

Any thoughts? Or are you too busy? (LOL…I couldn’t resist)

Break the Ties

How many times must you say NO?
How many times will he say that he loves you so?
The punching, the kicking, the biting, the fighting
I am so tired of seeing you hurting and crying.
To be a victim of abuse staying with him when you should turn him loose!

I am so afraid that I start to shudder
At the thought of losing another Mother
Friend, Sister, or Daughter to domestic abuse

My dear friend please don’t listen to the lies
Run like Hell, Please cut the ties!
You are worth so much more than words can explain
God loves you so and would not have you feel this pain.

Step out on faith be strong stand tall
You can make it, you don’t need this, please hear my call!

Don’t stick around thinking that he will change
Because you will continue to be a victim of his RAGE!

Stop making excuses and blaming yourself
Because this is dangerously hazardous to your health

Please hear my cry ladies state you case
When you are ready for help call 800-799-SAFE
