I don't know about you but its pretty normal for me to be running around like a crazy person. Rushing here and there trying to squeeze in time here for a quick meal or to clean my room or whatever. I've been focusing lately on how my time is spent and what my priorities are. Here are a few verses that have challenged me.
Colossians 4:5-6 (NIV)Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Ephesians 5:15-16 (NLT)
So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Psalm 90:12 (KJV)
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
This old school song by DC Talk also came to mind...
You got a gift and you best start using it,
'cause if you don't you're gonna wind up losing it.
Just like the brother who buried it deep,
the task was simple but the price was steep.
We got a mission while we're on this earth,
we need to tell people about our second birth.
Get busy like a school boy makin' an "A"
'cause time my brother is tickin away.
Time is tickin' away, tick tick ticking away. (4x)
Right now is the time that we gotta get with it,
the gift that He's given ain't just an exhibit.
But a tool that He's given us to use for His sake.
And just as He's given He can surely take.
The signs of the times are dropping like flies,
the cries of the people around us imply.
They're lookin' for an answer that we already know,
but time is definitely on the go.
All the money in the world
could never stop the hands of time.
And a wasted day in your life
is more than a crime
'cause if you don't you're gonna wind up losing it.

I'm not really sure how to close this out... Maybe a few random fun pictures of the other weekend when we went to the phillies game.
