Making the Time

I’ve been struggling y’all

It’s been hard to make time

I want to call this one “Making the Time.” Over the past couple of weeks I feel like time has been escaping me. The things that I want to do deep down in my heart, I tend to lose focus on. My desire to do it is there, but my execution and intentionality lacks. I specifically want to talk about making time for people. The people that we love and care about. The older we get, the more involved we get in life: we get married, have children, start new careers, may uproot ourselves to a new place, start business, have new hobbies, etc. The time that we may have had before can become limited, especially the time we had for certain people. So, I am pushing myself and others to make time for other people. Sometimes it does feel like a loss when life changes and a person that you’re used to talking to or seeing frequently just isn’t in your life as much. It can feel slightly like a breakup, or abandonment. I know that’s not my or anyone else’s intention. It’s just that as seasons move in our lives, different things take priority positions. I think that if we intentionally put dates on a calendar, for instance “I’m going to grab coffee with xyz today” or “I’m gonna go for a workout with xyz today” it can really help us out. It may mean that you have to skip out on things that have importance to you. Last week I intentionally missed my Bible study, which I love going to every Thursday, but I wanted to share time with a friend who really needed someone to talk to. So, I just want to push you to make time for the people that used to have your attention. Think about them, and the void that they may feel, and take the first step to consider someone as you would want to be considered yourself.

Will you make time this week? I hope so!
