If I had more time, I would learn to play more than 10 chords on my guitar. I would love to lead worship with the youth group. I would seek more opportunities to use my voice.
If I had more time, I would make my own cleaning solutions that are 'green'. I would sew. I would've made my own baby food and used cloth diapers.
If I had more time, I would be in God's word more. I would memorize more. I would read more.
If I had more time, I would exercise more than I do. I would go on more walks. I would do yoga. I would train for this triathlon coming up in September.
If I had more time, I would go on dates with my husband. I would be more creative in showing him how much I adore and respect him. I would make him lunches.
If I had more time, I would help my friends more. I constantly feel like I'm letting people down because I don't have much free time. I would sit and listen. I would pray, and I would just be present.
If I had more time, I would have a much cleaner home. Actually, that's probably not true. I just hate cleaning, regardless of how much time I have or don't have.
Do you ever feel like there's not enough time? Not only in a day, or week, but in life? I wonder how many things on my 'bucket list' I'll actually cross off in my lifetime. I wonder how much time I've wasted by watching TV or taking facebook quizzes. I wonder how much more I would accomplish if I used my time wisely. I think a lot of the things I've mentioned are not that far out of reach. How much time does it take to think of a creative way to tell Marc I love him? What if I spent just 10 minutes each day picking up the guitar and practicing, or spent 5 minutes each day memorizing Scripture. It's just a matter of being disciplined with myself and remaining determined.
I am truly hoping with the change of pace brought on by summer, that I can have the resolve to accomplish some of these hopes.

I appreciate this post and your honesty! I have had the very same thoughts lately--about all the things I would do and how I know I waste the precious time I do have. I think the key is breaking things out into small steps, like you mentioned and feeling good about the (slow) progress made!
thank you deeply for posting this. I will say a prayer for you, really.
Yes, time is precious and fleeting - but don't think for a moment you still aren't a treasure and a gift for those who do get even a moment of your time. You are loved.
