Time change

I just finished my homework for this quarter of school. I am rejoicing for a short break, even if it is only a week or so. I also just realized that we are changing time again this weekend. I feel like we just set the clocks back an hour and it is already time to set them back up. Time is swiftly passing.  Sometimes time has a way of getting away from me. I make plans, set goals and before I know it the time has come and gone and I got little accomplished. Up until this past week, I have been working a lot of overtime trying frantically to “catch up” and feeling desperately that I am drowning. Finally, I realized, I am only one person and I can only do so much. So I have lightened my load and I am just doing what I have to and if things fall behind (and they have) I will catch up with it sooner or later; As long as the important stuff is done.

          I have to prioritize the important things in life, work, family, God. I have a lot of changes coming ahead for me and I am ready to embrace all that God is calling me to do. I just need to stop and let Him direct the way, instead of trying to figure it out ahead of time. This will be quite a challenge but I am up for it.
       We were able to spend some wonderful time with some dear friends on Sunday afternoon. Singing the old hymns ,reading scriptures and talking about our experiences with the Lord. I had a boatload of homework that I had planned to do but this was a special time that I am so glad I changed my plans for. The brother we were there to visit will soon be going to meet Jesus and when we got there he cried and when I asked if the singing would make him feel better he said yes, he loves the singing so that is how we spent the day. We never know how much time we have to do things with people we love so we should never miss the opportunity to spend with family and friends.

           This week’s Lesson:

Stop and take time to enjoy life and family and serving God and others. Time is passing quickly and the opportunities may pass you by if you are too busy to enjoy them.
