"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life."
-Charles Darwin
Todays chapter of One Month to Live is something that I'm sure everyone could really use some work on... Time Management! Now this doesn't mean getting more things done at work or juggling extra homework. This day and age, life is so hectic and crazy, we can't stop and "smell the roses." We can't enjoy the Life that God has given us. Ask yourself this, when is the last time you really sat down and did something you really really loved and enjoyed? When is the last time you had a nice dinner with your family or close friends and just done some catching up? We only get so much time in life. Why not make every little second count. Because when that second passes, it's gone forever.
"Make It Last for Life"
- Pastor Kerry and his wife Chris have asked me, you, whoever is taking on this journey with me, to make a journal this week of how we spend our time each day. And this goes from rating how productive our day was to how content we were with it.
- Now they have also asked in todays lesson, what was the biggest waste of time in the past week? Did any of it pay off for you? Was it a distraction or entertainment? And is there a better way we could have spent this time to receive a greater impact?
I definetly know there are many moments in life that I waste. Those times where I sat up and watched TV for hours, I could have spent time with my grandparents. I could have taken a walk, spent time with God reading the bible, or just checking up on some friends to see how their life was doing. But I let those moments pass, and I would hate to let those moments pass to where it was too late and I couldn't have the chance again. Lets start making every moment count. Do something today you haven't done in a while that you really enjoy.
Prayer Requests:
This is something I also want to start throwing into my blog every day. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner, but anyone who has a prayer request, whether it be unspoken or not, feel free to comment every day or just message me and I'm sure whoever else is reading this could pray with you and so will I. I do have a prayer request of my own today. Now we are all humans. We all make mistakes. But we also can all be forgiven if we ask the Lord to do so. Well I don't know if this is pregnancy, but I get a little touchy with people every now and then. Some people just annoy me. I ask that the Lord gives me strength, keeps me calm, and remain a lady of Christ.
I do have another prayer request for myself also. There has been a certain someone that seems to be trying everything in their power to bring me down emotionally. I can't stand that when I'm trying to bring myself up, they are constantly pulling me down. I pray that I have strength through this and also pray that the Lord is with that person and heals their heart as well as mine... You can't get anywhere being a bully.
Pray for my friend Leslie's mother, for my friend Erica's stepdad, for my friend Jessica's growing little baby girl in her tummy, and also for my brother-n-law.
Praise:
This is also another thing I want to start doing.
I just want to Praise my friend Scooter for doing this book with me along with many other people in the world. He is really taking in what this book has to offer and is making some awesome changes in his life. It makes me happy to see him happy.
