Time Management

God wants our heart.  All of it.  If he wants my heart, I am assuming he also wants my time.  Everyone understands that it is hard to have a relationship if you don't put in the time to get to know each other.  Likewise, it is hard to hear, hard to learn if we don't put in the time.  For some reason, I decided that instead of killing time by doing silly things on my computer--facebook, games, poking around--that maybe I could use that "free time"  to spend with God.  Read his word, get in some studying amidst the hectic pace of my household, and remove the excuse that I don't have time.  Well, I have been doing that to some degree.  I've read some Christian fiction that really adds the human element I strain to understand.  I've studied on Joel.  I've read some Genesis, and listened to podcasts while doing tasks like bills or my nails instead of watching tv.  You know what?  I had no idea how much time I can spend learning at the feet of my Lord!  Now, I'm not saying I don't poke on facebook, or check out news sites, and sometimes kill time. I do.  I'm sure we all need our own form of down-time.  The point is that if I really do desire to know Him, then more of my time should focus on Him.  If I'm spending hours playing a game, or hours reading the news, and then wonder why I'm still a babe in Christ, or still don't understand something, know the Lord better, or whatever--the answer is right there in front of me.  Why not use my time in a God-seeking way?  I have, and have been so blessed by it!
