Today was hard for me. I kept struggling with time, always falling behind what I thought was my schedule. I tried to persuade it to slow down and give me a few more minutes. I wished I would make more of my day.

Days like this... I know them too well.

And then I finally dropped everything to sit in silence with Him for a while and ask for guidance. I felt nervous and heartsick and there was that flood of harshness in my head getting ready to deluge me. But then I saw an image in my heart, of a woman strolling quietly and slowly in a blossoming orchard. No haste, no worries, no agitation. There was a sense of deep peace, a peace of knowing that there's a perfect time for everything. And every minute is precious and has its own beauty.

I once read a beautiful piece of wisdom saying that when you put the most important things first, there's time for everything.

I often forget that. I do everything else and everything else and everything else but that thing my heart keeps whispering to me about. Priorities... how often they elude us as we become trapped between what we think we should be doing and what we really want to do. So many distractions in today's world. But the heart won't be silenced, it'll always be waiting on us.

So, let's look at that schedule one more time. This is my precious day, my hours and my minutes. My life.

Dear heart, what do you want me to do next?


Time... our perpetual teacher. Here you'll find my tips on how to start using time wisely, and here's my reflection on the struggle of making the most of it.
