Scripture Challenge TIME

Hey, everyone!

This week's Scripture Challenge is TIME. Isn't that a true challenge every day...finding time? I was just remarking to some friends that I wondered what ever happened to those lazy days of summer we always hear about. Father's Day was the first day of summer and instead of relaxing away the summer it seems like we are full speed ahead! Here is my layout for this week:

I used some monogram alphabets that I have had for a while. The large letters are perfect for a short title like this one. The clock is something I have had a while, too. I didn't put hands on the clock because I wanted it to represent all time! The first verse I thought of was Ecclesiastes 3:1. The Bible tells us that there are certain times for certain things here. Some of us can get impatient and have a harder time waiting for the right time to do something. This is where we must trust God and lean on Him to help us.

Have you ever thought about time...what it means to us? For some people a minute is not very much time, but those 60 seconds can feel like an eternity when you are waiting to hear news. As a mother, having been pregnant twice, I have had the privilege of waiting 9 months for both of my children. It was hard to wait sometimes but what a reward for the waiting!! As a Christian, I am waiting for Christ to return and sometimes it feels like it is taking so long, but just like giving birth, what a reward it will be for the waiting!!

Even though the doctors only gave my uncle a short time to live, it was still hard for that final moment to come. I'm glad God doesn't tell us the exact moment we will die because it really allows us to make the most of whatever time we are given. My favorite quote is on my blog and it's by Roy Lessin: Every day is a day that God has given us, and each moment of that day is in His hands. I don't know about you but that brings me a lot of peace and comfort. I do not face a single minute alone! He's always there!

Hugs,
