Simplicity

Why does it feel like life is out of control sometimes? I wake up feeling behind and when I go to bed at night I wonder if I really got anything done. Is it supposed to be like this? I just wish that things could be simple. I long for simplicity. And a nagging feeling comes over me...what if the things that I fill my day with, the things that I think are so important, what if they are not really that important at all? I guess what I am asking then is, what really is important? What is my purpose? What is my mission? And can I boil it all down to that and live in that simplicity?

I love Honduras for so many reasons but one of them is that while I am there I wake up in the morning and my purpose is clear. I know what I am being called to do that day. It is pretty simple. And at the end of the day when my head hits the pillow with full exhaustion it does so with a sense of fulfillment. Why can't it be like that everyday? Is it possible that we could live our lives with that kind of simplicity? I want to live like a man on a mission but what does that look like in the everyday? Does anyone esle expereince this?
