I need sleep!!!

Man, was I convicted today at church!

I went home for OU/Texas weekend and was able to go to my home church in Fort Worth this morning. The sermon was about time and this just really hit home for me. Over the last month or so I have just felt very very busy, and because of that I have had to pick and choose where I spend my time. Which I would say I have not been picking well. This is something that has always been a struggle for me and I have been working on it since coming to college. I have gone through periods of life where my time has not been an issue and where it has. When it has been an issue in the past it has lead to some very not so fun this happening in life.

One this that Harold talk about this morning was that we waste so much of our time. There were a few things that he mentioned that waste our time and I am guilty of all of them: anger, malice, lust, guilt, depression, the pursuit of entertainment and pleasure. There are so many times when I should be studying for a test or perparing for a lesson that something like anger over something silly or a tv show end of taking up that time. Entertainment is a big one for me, we have Netflix at my house and that has been the end of me. I have been WASTING so much time watching Law and Order: SUV or some other show that I end up stressing out over school.

Harold gave us tips for finding "more" time and they sure were helpful.

1. Do not be vague or thoughtless; do not be on autopiolt

Instead, evaluate occasionally (Areas where you are drifting rather than progressing and what things are coming up)

2. Understand what the will of the Lord is for the facets of my life

3.Use vacant time
4. Do things "off peak"

5. Trafe entertainment for progress

The hard part for me is going to put into practice the things that I need to do in order to use my time wisely and not waste it on thoughtless, unimportant things!! I see the importants for this the older and older that I get and things really start to pile up in your days. I know that there is never going to be a season in life where I am perfect at this but I do know that I can continue to learn and grow in my time use and hold on the to Lord for help!!
