Good Morning...And Afternoon...And Evening, and month of April! I must confess I've been lost in the breeze by kind of life lately. Between setting up interviews for a new job, finding somewhere to live, and spending hours in the recording studio I haven't made time to just sit down and write. Today is the day!
Something that's been on my heart lately has been the idea of making time...Making time for life, love, other people... As I've been on this journey of seeking God and learning what it means to be a woman, He has put on my heart just how important time is to Him. Every moment is an opportunity gifted by Him. A uniquely wonderful and finite chunk of possibility. Think about it! There will never be another moment like this one that you are spending with me while reading this. Never be this particular beautiful frame of life again, and then it's gone. I don't say this to discourage you or usher doomsday, but I do say it as maybe a little bit of a reality check. How often do we complain about being bored, or that it's just "another day"?? But the reality is that it isn't just "another day". This day...This 24 hours has never and will never happen again. That alone makes it special, but top that with the fact that every moment you have a choice about how you are going to live it! Are you going to MAKE TIME to meet with your friend for an hour for coffee and really genuinely ask them how they're doing in their heart, and then be blessed by sharing it with them? Are you going to enjoy the beauty of the snow falling, or a flower blooming? Or are you too busy feeling overwhelmed by what's happening next and telling people that you have no time that you don't realize that you just sat for an hour doing nothing. Something that I have noticed lately about the way that our culture and frame of mind works is that we are kind of chronic time wasters. We allow entire weeks to slip by without stopping to notice that anything is actually happening. We make the excuse that we're busy when in reality we spend hours a day staring at a screen, or complaining about the woes of the world. We are UNAWARE of the PRECIOUS NATURE of our time. It is not refillable like a VISA gift card... When it is spent it's spent. My challenge to you today would be to really observe for a day how you are spending your time...What are you doing? Then, ask God to point out areas in which He wants to reclaim your time, and show you how to live going forward. Ask Him to make you AWARE. It will change your heart, life, and relationships. Prepare to be amazed.
