If serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15 


Do you need a time-out? Time away from the rat race, the car pool, waiting in lines, and watching the clock?

Have you figured out how to master time? Or has time been mastering you? 

Over the past twenty years, I think I've heard more from others in regards to "time," or lack of, than anything else.

So many people seem to feel there just isn't enough time in a day, while others appear to have way too much time on their hands.

Through the years I've found that "time" can be so elusive. We all live by the clock, running here and there, got-to-get-it-done... sorry-I'm-late... I wanted to call you but... Let's get together after things slow down... I have so much work to do... I'm so tired... etc...

Perhaps God wants to reveal some things to us this month, in regards to our "time & busyness," but we've not had time to spend just listening to His still small voice. 

Maybe we need to turn down the volume on the stereo, turn off the computer and the TV, and be more intentional about scheduling "quiet time." 

I pray that God will use this "moment in time" and your visit to my website, to be an encouragement in the way you use and view the time God's given you. 

Love Mindy
