Please Don't Think I'm Too Busy

I need to be more like Jesus. I say that often, but today I was reading my devotional and read about Jesus healing the little girl.  He was busy when the dad came asking him to come and put his hands on her; however it didn't stop him from getting up and going to help this sick girl.  On his way, a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years touched him.  Instead of continuing on his way, once again he stopped to acknowledge the woman.  These stories are in the Bible two different times, so I know they are important.  I feel there is more to these two stories than just believing Jesus can heal.  Think about it....Jesus stopped what he was doing to heal both the girl and the woman.  It did not matter that he was busy.  In this way I feel I need to be more like Him.  No matter how busy I get, how much I have on my to do this, I want to be available to my friends, my family, my children, and my husband.  I want others to know, I am willing to put things on hold to pray for them, to lend a listening ear, to be a shoulder to cry on, and to just spend time with them if needed.

To those around me, I want you to know you can come to me when needed.  If you send me a text needing prayer, know that I am stopping what I am doing to say a prayer.  If you need me at all, please don't hesitate to ask.  If you need advice, feel free to send a text or message.  I know with the hours I work it may be difficult, but know I will find the time for you.  My new years word this year is intentional, and that's exactly what I am trying to be more of....more intentional about praying for you, more intentional with spending time with you, and more intentional spending time with God. Please don't ever think I'm too busy for you!!!
