Treasuring Time

Hello there!

This is my first time to officially write on here! I’m so excited to see what I can learn from writing these blog posts as well as seeing what brilliance my friend, Sarah, has to share about her simple findings.

The time has finally come! Finals are all submitted, freedom has hit, the EOTYG (school gathering mentioned in the last post) is in a few days, everything seems happy! In one week, summer school will start. Life is going to be crazy again...yippee! Does this craziness ever stop?

Summer activities can include summer school, swim practices, dance performances, school preparations, vacations, volunteering, whatever else may take up your summer time, and yet we still have some guaranteed free time. Not much! Some. What do you do with that free time? Some people read a book, some cook (non-intentional rhyme!!!), some swim or lay out in the glorious sun, some sleep, some teach, the list could go on and on and on and on. However, what if this time, a portion at least, was spent on reading the Bible?  People are guaranteed to have a much better day if they start it out in God’s Word. Whether you swipe your phone open to a screenshot background of your favorite verse in the morning, or get a cup of coffee at Starbucks and dwell in His Word, you will find yourself a much happier person throughout the day. One of my all-time favorite teachers this year has taught me to read the ‘Proverb-of-the-Day’ every day. As I have done this over the past nine months, I have started to memorize these verses and have a characterization for each proverb. It has honestly been a lot of fun and I cannot thank this teacher enough for inspiring me in this kind of way.

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” –Luke 12:34

Treasure God’s Word in your heart. Plant it there. Water it. And it will grow.

Simply,

Margaret
