Time… Never Enough of IT…
I never notice how much time passes by, and how fast it passes by (to add) when i’m busy. This week in particular has been a lot slower compared to the past couple of weeks. When I have the time to think about time and all the things i’ve done over the past days, weeks, and months, I always end up feeling like I wished I had more - more time to spend with friends, more time with Annie, more time cleaning the house, more time to run errands, get the laundry done that’s been waiting for me for seemingly weeks - and finally at the end of it all, I wished I had more time to spend with God… well, maybe.
I believe at the heart of my desire for more time with God is something even deeper - I just want good quality time with God. I want God to be the priority of my life, to allow and invite him to trickle into all the little cracks and dents of my life, to invade my heart and allow me to “feel” him throughout my day. When a busy week comes a long, it seems like I ALWAYS forget to invite God into my “busyness”. And it’s almost a pattern or cycle - I forget about asking God for quality time with him throughout my day, something goes wrong, I feel discombobulated (oh big word!), and then I drag my feet back to the Lord.
Don’t you hate it when you run out of time and at the end of the day you feel like you’ve just wasted your day? Friends, family, my prayer is that I personally find more time to squeeze God into every area of my life. I can’t get enough of him and I know I need him in my life. One of the ways I will challenge myself to grow in spending time with the creator? reading the Word at least a paragraph a day, reflecting on it and letting it sit on my heart. What will you do?
