How do you spend your time?

Umm..so i actually typed this blog about a week or so ago, and i just now found it in my drafts :) but yeah...here are some of my thoughts.

Okay...so, the other day, i started thinking about how seldom i really spend time with God. Although He is willing to listen to our prayers and our requests 24 hours a day, we can hardly get 5 minutes in just to thank Him for all He's done. I mean, God NEVER gets tired of listening to us and caring for us and fighting for us. Yet, most days we go WITHOUT talking to Him or thanking Him for something as simple as your next breath. I just wonder why it's so hard for us to spend a very small amount of time when He gives us ALL of His time every day. Yes...He IS perfect, and He chooses to spend His time on us each day. But why do we have to make it seem like it's SO hard to just spend a few minutes with Him each day? HE is thankful for that small amount of our time....we should be more than thankful for all of His.



I read this in Crazy Love today..."When we put it plainly like this--as a direct choice between God and our stuff--most of us hope we would choose God. But we need to realize how we spend our time, what our money goes toward, and where we invest our energy is equivalent to choosing God or rejecting Him. How could we think even for a second that something on this puny little earth compares to the Creator and Sustainer and Savior of it all?"



So...i'm going to try to be wiser about the way i spend my time because i want My Father to know how much i truly love Him. He is the most important thing in my life, and i would be NOTHING without Him.

Where do I start?

Okay...so, first of all, i don't really see a difference in all of these fonts because the majority of them look pretty much the same. Therefore, i decided to go with the default. How original huh? Okay. Not funny. Disregard that statement. Second of all, this is my first time being a blogger, so don't tell me if i'm bad at it. Lol. Just let me be :)

Anywho, now i'm really starting. So...it's 2 o'clock in the morning. I should really be sleeping right now, but i told a dear friend of mine that i would make a blog before i go to bed. And here it is :)

Here are my thoughts at this very moment: "I need sleep." "Thank You Father for allowing me to see the good in people, in everyone and in everything. Thank You for this day. Thank You for the rain. Thank You for the love that you shower on me every single day. Thank You for the blessings i receive from you constantly. You are such a loving Father, and i will never understand how You could love someone like me SO much. But i know you do Father, and i am deeply in love with You. Thank You for the beautiful people You have blessed me with in my life, and i pray that You be with them throughout each day continually whispering in their ear, "You are My Child, and I love you. There is NOTHING you could ever do to make me stop." I love you, Lord. I can never thank You enough for all you do. Help me be bold for you." "I love my family... :)" "I'm thankful for new friendships and seeing God work."

And now...i am going to sleep :)
