Number one thing I have learned about caring for my soul. A thread. “...there is a world of difference between being busy and being hurried. Being busy is an outward condition, a condition of the body. It occurs when we have many things to do. Busy-ness is inevitable in modern

culture. If you are alive today in North America, you are a busy person. There are limits to how much busy-ness we can tolerate, so we wisely find ways to slow down whenever we can....By itself, busy-ness is not lethal. Being hurried is an inner condition, a condition of the soul

It means to be so preoccupied with myself and my life that I am unable to be fully present with God, myself, and with other people. I am unable to occupy this present moment. Busy-ness migrates to hurry when we let it squeeze God out of our lives.... I cannot live in the Kingdom

of God with a hurried soul. I cannot rest in God with a hurried soul.” From the book Soul Keeping by John Ortberg.
