There has been a lot of change in my life over the past year, including relocating to the outskirts of Columbus, Ohio, getting married and starting a new job. Meanwhile, I just started up at Ashland Theological Seminary on Monday (having transferred from a different seminary in DC). Thankfully, my job at Ohio State University is part-time and makes seminary manageable. Still, I do believe that the effort to balance seminary, work and a new life in marriage forces one to approach life in a more planned out manner.
I’ve often thought that I have a good idea of time management. I think most people think of me, or at least the “work me” as being diligent and productive. Yet, if I am honest with myself, I need to admit that I am not extremely skilled in time management, and this applies both to my work and to my personal life. For instance, sometimes I try to cram too much into life; I like to be active. However, in doing so, am I really allowing room for God to accomplish His will for me in my life?
Although time is limited, we do have enough time to accomplish God’s will for us. The problem is that we waste our time when we do not operate in God’s will. This is something that I need to prayerfully consider every time I find myself hesitant to surrendering to God’s will.
