Time Managing Me

Managing time. How good are you at it? Do you get all the things you set out to do? How do you prioritise your time??

A lot seems to be happening round me at the moment. It's all keeping me busy so I am not complaining. After all I am a focused person. I like setting goals and targets and attaining them. But somehow I am feeling very overwhelmed by this 'busyness'. I have missed a few deadlines. I am not happy about this. I am running behind schedule on a few things. Even less happy! This is all making me feel guilty. It is not as if I have been idling away my time. Save for Jane Eyre on Sunday's tv, I have not even glanced at the box all week. Not that I watch telly all that much anyway! So how can I manage my time?

The greatest investment God has given us is time. He gives us all in equal proportion. How we spend it, determines our destiny to a large extent. What I want to know right now is this - am I managing time or is time managing me?

But why fret anyway? All I need do is ask the Holy Spirit to counsel me and help me in this. God, our Father liberally dispenses wisdom if we ask. I will ask Him for wisdom in managing my time. He does not want me rushed off my little feet. He will show me what to do. Outline a plan even. But I must listen too. With His experience in creating the world in 6 days and resting on the 7th, who is better qualified to manage my diary.
