I have been stressed out about time since early 2009. When KY and I was preparing for our wedding, most of our weekends were spent scouting for the photographer, the dinner venue, furniture for our new room and bathroom, renovation ideas, wedding necessities, etc etc etc. Ever since then, I had always felt that time is not enough.
Every morning I would wake up praying for guidance, praying for wisdom, praying that by God's grace may I live the day the way I should. Yet towards the evening, very often I am left feeling that I have not done enough, that there is still so much to do. I felt that I have wasted the day and I have no clue as to what I have wasted it on. Well, I went to work, I stared at the laptop for an average of 7 hours per day, and then I came home, continued staring at the laptop for another 1 hour or so. By the time my head hit the pillows of my bed, I would have been exhausted and could fall into deep sleep without much problem.
So why is time not enough?
I had hoped that there would be more than 24 hours in a day. I thought that that would solve my time inadequacy issue. But lately I realized that that's not that point.
God has given everyone of us 24 hours in a day. It is our choice on how we use these 1440 minutes. I realized that if I find myself in the catch-22 situation of not having enough time, it could be due to the following reasons:
1. My time management is lousy
2. I'm putting my hands and feet in too many things
God is almighty and God is all-knowing. He knows that 1440 minutes is just nice for us to live. 1440 minutes is what we have in a day, and it's our choice on how to use every single minute. If I find myself at a lost at the end of the day, and feeling that I have not accomplished much, I would have to re-look into my priorities and my involvement in the things around me.
Sometimes it's not time which is not enough. It is not trusting God enough.
