So this semester in school has been one of my busiest so far. Not just because of classes or homework, but it has just been busier than usual in all areas of my life and I have found myself with less time to do the things I enjoy doing.

One of those things has been blogging.

During the summer, I could write a new blog post every few days, I had a lot more extra time in my hands and a lot more time to think and do stuff.

I wanted to share something that God has been showing me lately though: my time.
As I have been noticing, not just in me but in other people, is how hard it is to handle our busy schedules. We live basing our daily routines in what we do, when we do and the time of the day we have to do things. I think it is engraved in our mindset the need to follow a schedule. We have to be at work or in school or other commitments (church activities in my case) and we fit everything else around them. In my case, I tend to fit God around everything else I do.

I was thinking last night about this before going to bed. It is sad that I fit God into my schedule, when He should be the number one priority in my schedule. When I think about how He saved me, how He picked me out of the chunk of the world, words are not even enough to express my gratitude. But I often tend to treat Him as "I will spend time with You, if I can get up early enough, or if I am done with my daily activities and don't feel too tired". Why do I do this?

As I was reading Psalm 25 this morning, I was reminded of how important it is to know the ways of the Lord, and growing closer to Him. To know the ways of the Lord, means to fellowship, spend time with Him and learn from Him. This has been a constant struggle of mine as I have seasons in which I do really good, and others in which I send Him back to the back of my schedule and spend time with Him when I have the time to.

So even if it means getting up earlier or sacrificing the little free time I have, I must commit to spend more time with Him. Always and every day.
