You Choose- To Do or not To Do

The wedding is in 4 days and I am tired. There are so many loose ends to tie up before I can marry the most wonderful man in the world. That being said... I feel like my to do list is never finished- do you ever feel like that? I am sure that you do.

Its as though I get a lot of things done and I feel accomplished for a brief moment and then I realize all of the other stuff that I need to get done. Will this ever end, not likely. I know that life after college only gets crazier. Thinking back to when I was a kid and my biggest concern was which flavor ice cream I wanted to get when the ice cream truck rolled by makes realize that life only speeds up. It doesn't usually slow down. Yes, there are those moments of rest that God so graciously blesses us with, but I believe that those moments of rest are only preparing us for what He has in store for us. God didnt intend for us to lounge lives away. He didn't intend for us to have lives where all we do is decide what flavor ice cream to get. God has called each of his children to be a laborer for Him. 

This thought makes me stop and wonder...is all of my busyness centered on glorifying and honoring God? Or am I simply filling my days with "me-time". Sadly, for the most part, my answer is the latter. It is so easy to get swept up in life's to do list. Pick up this, drop off that, e-mail her, buy this...How is it that its so easy to neglect time with the most important thing in my life, the Creator of the universe.

I have been quite convicted lately about my lack of time alone with God. I can blame it on the busyness but as soon as I do, I remember this:

Every day consists of 24 hours. It is up to you what you do with those 24 precious hours. It is your life and your choice. Choose to be a good steward of your time.

That is my goal. Even in the craziness of life, that I could be a good steward of my time and choose to prioritize my time with the Lord above all of the seemingly pressing to-dos.

The concept of choice and choosing has been in my mind a lot lately. I want to explore that more...but I'll save it for another time.

thanks for reading :)
