God speaks to me.

He does.

Not in a loud booming voice. It’s actually quite gentle. I remember the first time I heard Him. I was in second grade, and God told me {clear as day} that I would be an educator. We all see how that turned out.

I digress.

The other day I turned the corner from the hallway to the kitchen and He spoke clear as clear can be to this ol’ gal. You see I’d been making excuses. Excuses about why I couldn’t do some things. Important things. Excuses about not having enough time.

And He said – I can take some stuff away from you so you’ll “have” enough time.

That sucked the air right out of my lungs.

Because to be honest, I have plenty of time. I’m just not using it as wisely as I could be. I don’t want anything taken away from me! God has blessed me beyond measure.

I felt strongly that I needed to share this with y’all. Let’s all be good stewards of the time and things God has so graciously given us.

After all, it’s not ours. It’s His.

It’s all His.

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16
