We went to Arizona for a long weekend. As I contemplated some things on the road, I looked at time management. Having a full time job, a wife, and currently my father-in-law takes up a certain amount of time. I do not see any negatives in those three. Spending time with God is important. I often pray in the middle of the night when I wake up. Between praying and digressing on other thoughts, the time is about 50% of each. I make it a point to read the scriptures and memorize verses. Right now I am reading through Proverbs and Luke. I am slowly trying to memorize 1 John in German. Remodeling the house is a major effort. Currently progress is slow and I am working on a number of little tasks in between everything else.
I have been meditating over the book of Acts. The disciples were told to wait. Then God's power came upon them. I definitely need that kind of power to accomplish the mission he has called me to - to be a good husband for my wife, a mentoring professor, and to care for orphans in their distress. With over 550 million orphans and growing the task is overwhelming. Many aspects of my life are overwhelming at this time. However, I am still strong and courageous. The Lord my God will be with me wherever I go.
