Time

I cannot tell you how many times I have wished to have the power to pause time. There have been so many instances where I have had a huge list of things I needed to get done, but barely had any time to do it. Or, I would forget to do something important, or I would be too tired to finish a big project, or I would be just a few minutes late to something…the list could go on forever. I’m sure we have all felt the desire to halt time and do things we needed, or wanted to do. But thank goodness we can’t. I say this because if I could actually pause time, I doubt I would do all of the things that would need doing. Or I could see myself pausing time for so long to do useless tasks that ultimately are not worth it. I feel like I would become easily exhausted doing things during the paused time that I wouldn’t want to keep going when time would start back up again. I believe that there are more disadvantages than advantages to having the power to pause time. I am grateful that God designed things to be this way, because I believe that we only progress by constantly moving forward. Life is to be lived in the moment, and is not to be stopped to try and complete frivolous tasks that ultimately have no purpose in the eternities. I rejoice in the fact that time keeps going, that I keep living life, and that God is there to help fix any problems that time won’t stop for.
