Working 9 till 5

When I started my job, I just knew that somehow I'd learn a lot, even though the job is simple; following orders that's all.

I've learned how to do certain tasks that are essential in the department, BUT that's not what I'm talking about...
This week, I was at work, I had some things to do, but not enough to fill my day with. Somehow no-one seemed to have time to teach me how to do something new.
So, I got myself my third cup of coffee,
And a third visit to the toilet (the place where great insight-moments take place, and the place of deliverance)
So there I was, thinking about my job, and in my thoughts I said: "I'm doing absolutely nothing"

It's like a simple cry of someone feeling useless for this sickly achievement oriented society or something like that.
And immediately an answer-thought came: "True", "Sometimes you just don't have to do anything."

It's difficult to feel valuable when you're actually doing nothing. But God is not really interested in 'me-being-busy'... He created me, and therefore I am useful and valuable, I cannot do anything about it. That is such a relieve! But also something I have to learn... I'm still learning this... but this week was like a revelation on that.

I'm not saying that from now on I will make a total mess of my life, body, job, study, relations...
But the case is, not to measure who I am in Christ, on what I achieve / on how busy I am.
