Time

I was at Silverwood this weekend. Of course I had fun, (I mean come on it's Silverwood, it's illegal to not have fun) but I wish I had more time. I went on Panic Plunge (AMAZING!!!!!!!) and I was going to go again, but since I was with my Youth Group we have to be back at the Bus at a certain time otherwise we're severely beaten. (not really) So part of the group I was in wanted to ride Panic Plunge again, but I thought we wouldn't have time, so I rode the Tilt-a-Whirl again. Then when I got back to the bus the Panic Plunge people were already there, so I was really mad, but whatever, the point is I ran out of time.
How many times do we run out of time when we do things? It's almost like we're constantly running out time. We didn't do this because we ran out time. We forgot this because we ran out of time. Sometimes it could've been avoided by managing our time better, but sometimes we just ran out of time.
Or maybe we didn't run out of time, we wasted it. I know I've done a lot of this, I get to the end of my day and say "HOLY COW! I've done nothing all day!" I must admit sometimes I feel proud of this and sometimes it's good, kinda therapeutic. However, I also must say that if everyday is being spent either running out of time or wasting it, what are you going to do at the end of your life? Say, "Oh Snap, maybe I should've been more productive with my time." 'Cause your only given so much and you don't even know how much you got. Which makes it kinda hard because with everything else in life your always given a time frame or limit so you know how much you have.
But it also makes it more motivating because you think, "I want to do as much as I can with all the time I got." I know this is kinda morbid, but if you don't think about it sooner or later, you'll run out of time or waste it and it's better sooner. Because someday your going to give an account for your time and it's doesn't impress God (or anyone else) if you spent all ninety-five years of your life watching Star-Trek reruns, instead of doing God's work. Anyway just some food for thought about making sure you don't waste or run out of your God-given but to use it for God.

The best quote about time (other than the Bible) is from... you guessed it... Lord of the Rings. In the movie The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf is talking to Frodo and he says, "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you." And it's true, you can waste it, run out of it, or make good use of it. It's really up to you to decide.
