"I speak it to God; I don't really want more time; I just want enough time. Time to breathe deep and time to see real and time to laugh long, time to give You glory and rest deep and sing joy and just enough time in a day not to feel hounded pressed, driven, or wild to get it all done-yesterday."- Ann Voskamp
I've been thinking a lot about time. I know I'm not alone when I say that often it feels like there's just not enough time in the day! But that simply isn't true. Since the beginning, every human being has had 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. God didn't make a mistake with the rising and setting of the sun. The problem isn't time, it's how I view it.
So what is the truth about time? There is NOT enough time for me to do everything that everyone else wants me to do. There is NOT enough time for me to accomplish all that I think I need to. But there is definitely time to do all that God has planned for me!
"Frustration is the by-product of attempting to fulfill responsibilities God does not intend for us to carry. Freedom, joy, and fruitfulness come from seeking to determine God's priorities for each season of life, and then setting out to fulfill those priorities, in the power of His Spirit, realizing that He has provided the necessary time and abilities to do everything that He has called us to do."- Nancy Leigh DeMoss
