Time to break, time to make

I really don't have much time anymore, not with work and school and ccm and church.....

And I keep picking up new responsibilities.....

When I first started to meet up with Pastor Peter Chung, I asked him to only meet with me if he had time.  He told me, time is made, not found.

Time is made, not found.

At first I thought that meant that there's always time for one more thing.  And for a college student, thats probably true.  But I've realized with my own schedule, a lot of times there really is not time for one more thing.  Sometimes theres not even time for the things I've already commited to.  This understanding isn't what PPC meant.

Time is made, not found because we very intentionally make time for certain things.  And often we don't find time for other things.  I think I'm still working it out a bit in my head.  But it got me thinking what do I make time for and what do I find time for.  Sometimes I make time for my disciplines and sometimes I find time for my disciplines.  The way we spend our time is such a reflection of our priorities.  Where we go and who we spend our time is how we CHOOSE to worship God.  After all, worship is a lifestyle not an event.  But back to time, if we don't have enough to do everything, then what are we choosing to do and what are we cutting out.  Is that the best most glorifying thing?

I may have complained a bit about the all nighter I pulled for SAN last tuesday.  But honestly, it was worth it.  I would make that time for my sisters any day.  Though sometimes making time to rest is the best way to glorify God as well (especially when I get all cranky from not having rested)

Make time for the things that are important, and don't find yourself wondering where the time went or regretting you don't have time to do the things that are important.  I wish I could do everything, but I can't.  I will at least make time for what will serve God best.
