time

... is a beautiful and precious gift from God.

the concept of time. 60 seconds in an hour. 24 hours in a day. 7 days in a week. i'm going to be selfish and say, "man, i want more time."

i want more time to spend with old and new faces. i want more time to truly get to know people. i want more time to be productive in all my responsibilities. i want more time to think, read, pray, study, and reflect. i want more time with God and actively listen to His voice.

i also want to stop time. just for a moment. kind of like a snapshot. to put life into stand-still and enjoy each and every moment of my life.

but alas, time just keeps going and going and going without a care in the world... sigh.

time is also very beautiful in the sense that it helps you heal. as time passes by, those troubles that you have, those sufferings that you've endured... it won't hurt anymore. time heals you and eventually, it'll help you move on with life. but do remember that it's not the power of time that does all this. but it's the power of God. He uses time to heal your wounds, to help you grow, and to make you stronger.

time. is. a very. good. thing. so, let's not waste it.
