In economics courses there is a term called the "treadmill of production". This term is used to describe the "hamster-on-a-treadmill" motion of how we get really busy creating more and more work for ourselves while resolving very little.
It gets like this, sometimes, for Christian women. If not careful, we can find ourselves so busy, but unable to get the output we long for.
Lately, there have been many articles and blogs published about "performing" as a Christian. This is not a favorable term because we don't like to consider what we do as performing. We call it ministry, devotion, or some other acceptable name. However, if we are honest, we have to think about some of the activities we do, and ask why we are doing it. Is it for God, or do we care (just a little more than we should) what others think about what we're doing.
How do we get off of the performance treadmill, and more into the Presence of God where we find real solutions to what we long for?
