Time

Time....what is that? It seems like everything we do surrounds that one word. Either with doctor's appointments, family time, spending time with friends, or just spending time in the Word. We tell our kids when to go to bed or when to wake up. We revolve around that word.

Time is something that is hard for me to grasp. When I was working as a manager, I seemed to never have time to do anything. I was always at work or sleeping because I had to go to work. Even on my days off, I was spending more time sleeping because I was so tired from working. I let myself be consumed with my job. So because of that, I never made any friends outside of my job. Now that I'm not working, time is something that I kinda sorta have a little of. But not really because I am a stay at home mom to 4 kids; I'm not complaining though. Now if I wanna spend time with anyone, I have to do it when they are off of work. Which doesn't always seem to concide when I can do things.

The one thing I can't seem to every grasp with time, is spending time in the Word. I know that I need to but I just find it hard to concentrate. Where are my priorities at? I can be honest and tell you that it's not where they need to be at. I need to be spending more time in the Word and listening to what God wants me to do. I want to be His servant and used for His purpose. God has called us each for a purpose and will use us as we are. We don't have to be some great speaker or whatever it is your are good at, He will use at your best. All we have to do is say: "here we are, use me." God will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4 testifies to that: "delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." We just need to believe that.

I know that things may be tough for you right now but things will get better. It may not be right this second, some things take time. Pray about it! Don't give up! We are going to get through this rough period in our life. Keep pushing forward and stop looking back. Your past has helped shaped you into who you are today (good or bad; you can't change it). I'm not proud of somethings from my past but I know that they helped formed me into who I am today.

Stay focused on your goals! Keep your head up! And pray without ceasing.
