I read the following quotes on another blog called thestayathomemissionary.com. I LOVED this quote and how she tied it to making goals for the new year. I make goals but there are little ones running around and life doesn't always go as planned! My children who by nature are interrupters when things need to get done are my primary job and ministry aside from my hubby. She also drew attention to Jesus's ministry on earth and how He had constant interruptions but he dealt with them in love and the gift of attention. Also, I agree that goals are important because they focus us but we need to not lose sight of the people around us.
"My whole life I have been constantly interrupted until I realized that the interruptions were my work." Henri Nouwen
"The truly purposeful have an ironic secret: they manage time less and pay attention more. The most purposeful people I know rarely overmanage time, and when they do it's usually because they're lapsed into drivenness, into a loss of purpose for which they overcompensate with mere busyness. No, the distinguishing mark of the purposeful is not time management. It's that they notice. They're fully awake." Mark Buchanan, The Rest of God
