"Me-Time"

Something has struck me about this constant cry to have "me-time" I hear. Jesus said that anyone trying to hold on to their life will lose it while those who give it away will keep it (paraphrased). I have had a week's worth of "me-time" and it's as though the days have not even happened. What do I have to show for them? Had I been taking a Sabbath day all along through the semester as is instructed, then I probably wouldn't have needed to unwind like I had to this time around. I was pretty up tight, let me tell you.

That's another thing. This semester....oooooh, this last semester. I don't know what it was. It was such a challenge. Praise God, though, for again I have top grades an I'm still relatively sane. But many things surfaced in me, I feel as though I've strayed from faith in a lot of ways, and I'm trying to get back to the right way.

Anyhow. May the cry for "me-time" be replaced by a cry for "God-time" - a time of refreshing in His presence, drinking Him in, that leaves the drinker fully satisfied.
