As I sat at the kitchen table, overwhelmed by the current disarray of my home and the loudness of the chaos coming from my three young children, a word came to me. “Time.” I had started the process of trying to pick “My One Word” about a week or two prior, but hadn’t quite settled. As I sat there, quite UNsettled, I felt as though in that moment, God challenged me. “What are you REALLY doing with your ‘time’?” In this season of my life, I am so consumed with the ‘time’ I put in to my full—time job; the ‘time’ I wish I had to get the house to show some semblance of order; and the desires of my heart to spend the ‘time’ I do have in creating a deep and meaningful relationship with God and my family. God has been the one to so graciously give me every moment of every day and I am called, as a follower of Christ, to be prepared to preach the word of God, whether I feel the ‘time’ is right or not, and be patient with my husband, children, family, friends, and others as I strive to correct, gently reproach, and encourage with good and proper teaching and as a real-life example, 2 Timothy 4:2. My ‘time’, like every other person’s, is limited here on earth. How am I choosing to spend it?
