Time For Everything

Everything in it's time.

What exactly is time? I mean we measure our years down to months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and even seconds. We base every choice we every make on time. One can even hear the phrase, "I don't have enough time." This is were we begin missing out on things with people we care about.

I do personally feel that it is important to plan things out. Life can get messy if you don't have a plan, but what if we embraced the idea of living in the moment? Be present and be changed by the people around you. Don't worry about what is going on around you but what is going on with the people you are with. Learn to laugh more, and love better. See the world for what more it has to offer.

We can read in in Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verses 1-8, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; ..."

Time is a blessing from the our beauty Savior. He offers a time live, let us be living it for Him. Let us be using our time with purpose. Life is such a sweet gift to be missing out on things because we don't have time. Because you do have time! LIVE for Jesus, Laugh with hope, and LOVE with passion.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
