Trying not to compartmentalize seems impossible

I was at the N.J. DMV today, and what a headache. Brian Regan has a comedy skit in which he picks on the public service business, and how it seems to be their policy to make getting things done a living nightmare. Today proved to be just that. You take a day off work. Spend hours of research online at the DMV website in the attempt to get all the documentation correct, so that when you take that 45 min drive you will have all things in order for a painless visit. However when your getting two licenses (1 for Carol 1 for myself) one bus registered, and a trailer it just couldn't go off without a hitch (and I'm not referring to towing the trailer). We managed to get 1 license, and 1 registration. We will be going back for the others. Did you know that we had passports, birth certificates, social security cards, marriage license, P.A. drivers licenses, and even our old N.J. Licenses, and a bill to prove address, and Carol couldn't get her license, because her name wasn't on the bill. When I stated that all things are in my name, and asked for suggestions, he couldn't give any, and just said that's the way it is. As if Carol was going to lie about actually living at the same address as her husband of more than 10 years. Do wives not live with their husbands, and then for some reason or another lie about it to somehow trick the DMV? What would be the purpose. All this to say that we often make time for the DMV, time for work, time for play, and time for our children, then time for God. It was hard to focus on the fact that we should always be focused on our creator. The bible says we should pray without ceasing. Always be with God. Was this possible when I was dealing with the frustration of the DMV? Oh by the way the computers froze just as they were printing my documents, and I had to wait 2 hrs for them to fix it. All the while their telling me they have no possible way of knowing if I could even walk out today with what I went there for. The truth of the matter is yes. I wasn't in control of the situation nor could I be if I wanted too. I was at the mercy of a computer, and a clerk. However having my paperwork reflecting the name of our organization Four Disciples Mission I had to walk worthy of that name. This reminded me who was in control. God. He has a great way of teaching me the patience I have prayed for, and stretching me to walk worthy of the name he has given me DISCIPLE. So we can be walking with God all the day long. Trust me it's not easy, and we'll always slip along the way. Remember however compartmentalizing trains us to put things aside until their designated time. I suggests putting God first in all things, and He'll show us how he can give it all to us, and teach us how to live life to the fullest while accomplishing the things needed for everyday life. Try it. Ask your Father in Heaven to send the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Jesus Christ to guide you. You'll be surprised at the outcome. It will take time for you to conform to this life God has for you, because we have to be retrained to not compartmentalize our lives. The blessing however are awesome, and don't be surprised if you're going places, and doing things you've never done before, all the while being able to smile in any situation, even at the DMV.
