Does anybody really know what time it is?

I was just realizing that I have been quite silent here for the past three months.  Been busy, but silent.  The work here for the Lord at the coast has been one of great praises and also of great anguish.  It has been very humbling to see God work in the lives of people, but it has been awfully disappointing when people seem to ignore the wonders of the Lord both those inside and outside of the church.

 I have been silent because I have been quite occupied with other things.  Like ministry, family, finances, and friends.  And typical household things that need to be attended to.  Oh, and major computer crashes.  The saying is true, “there are not enough hours in a day.” 

And then I began to read a little free book on the Kindle regarding such things as being busy, managing your time, and the like.  And here is what I have gleaned. 
 

1.   There has always been the same amount of hours in a day.  Twenty-four.  Since the beginning of creation.

2.   We are in control of our own time.  Though there is much we need to do; we can, at any moment, not do those things.  I do realize that there may be consequences in doing so, but we still have the power to do so.

3.   How well we accomplish things in the time we have is up to us.  We have choices that we must make.    There is much stress with a too full schedule, but it was us who made our schedule full. We need to be more disciplined.

Here is the obvious concept when it come to managing time.

 “If you want to manage your time, the sum total hours of your daily activities should be less than twenty-four hours.”       Amy Lynn Andrews

At first that seems to be a no-duh statement.  But it applies pretty much for anything.  If you desire to stay out of debt, spend less than you earn.  If you want to lose weight eat less calories than you burn.

For me to say that I have not enough time to not write my blog really meant I failed to manage the time given me. 

 

And, we all know how precious and valuable and short time is.  Let us use it wisely.  See you soon.
