My Talking-To About Time Managment..

I got a lecture today from my professor/advisor. He told me that I need to learn to organize my life better. He's right. I am pretty good at not managing my time wisely. Ugh. What stinks the most about it I feel like is that I don't necessarily think that I am wasting too much of my time. Some of it, yes. These past two weeks have been particularly overbearing I feel like, so maybe that's part of why I have not been doing as well academically as I would like to..I don't know. I'm tired of trying to do everything and having to analyze where all of my time goes and plan out every second of every day. I think that gets to be more exhausting than my actual day sometimes..

I don't know how to balance class and homework and friends and ministry and family (and sleep??) all on the same scale. Should they all even be on the same scale? What does it mean to glorify God in everything that I do? How is that actually supposed to look in my life? I want to do well in school. I know I am capable of doing better than I am. At least I am usually capable of doing better..I have always thought of doing my best in school as a way to bring glory to God. He's given me a capability to think and to learn, so I want to use that to the best of my ability. I guess I just don't know how that should fit in with other responsibilities and relationships and friendships that also require time and effort. Bah. The only thing I really know is that the way I have been trying to go about things is not the best way. I need to learn a better way.

Thanks for giving me grace, Jesus. I don't know where I would be without it. Please help me to know how to best use my time in a way that brings you glory.

"May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." -Hebrews 13:20-21
