I just
started reading a book about writing more often and doing a better job at
it. I’m not naturally a pen to paper
type person, but one of the tips was interesting it said to just write for 8
minutes a day. Apparently if you do that
and even write just 250 word in a sitting you can complete a novel in a
year. I have no ambitions to write a
novel, but I thought it was fascinating to think that in just 8 minutes a day
you can create something that would have a much greater impact than it seems 8
minutes should.
It strikes
me that time is much more valuable than we often realize. I waste so much of it doing, saying or
thinking about things that don’t matter.
I am convicted by that. I have
been called to live with eternity in view, to live in a way that pleases God
and often waste one of the biggest resources He has given me. Time on this earth.
John Edwards
resolved to “Live with all my might, while I do live” That is the type of
person I want to be. It is not the type
of person I have been, but thanks be to God that can change. He can change that in me, and 8 minutes at a
time I can do better. Time is up.
