"Time is the foundation that makes up our moments and memories. Our life is consists of different moments and memories. Time is also the one element that I cannot keep track of. I always seem to be losing it and trying to make it up or find it again.
But, you cannot make up what wasn’t yours in the first place and cannot lose what you do not have. I can only better steward this moment, this memory and this piece of time. I can only enjoy today and take care of things daily, for I am not promised tomorrow because it is not mine to have.
By creating a 24-7 scheduled the Lord has begun to show me what is important to me. When you give time to different tasks and people, you then give something to them that you can never get back. That giving is either worth it or not, and whether you mean to or not you give that thing, whatever and whoever that may be, a piece of your life that you will never get back. We cannot turn the clock back but we can be more careful in how we turn the clock forward. In writing out my schedule I realized that I want to know God more, yet His is such a small part of my schedule.
I want Him to saturate every part.
I don’t want to have one quiet time, that’s not enough.
I had planned to get more projects done today, but that wasn’t my priority. I throw away precious minutes waiting for life to begin, but I don’t realize that I am at the starting point and the gun has gone off, but I’m just standing there waiting for someone to push me. My goal cannot be to live in hope of tomorrow, but to live running to God daily, in every moment and in every period of time."
