My struggle with time – One month on
March 12th 2009 10:01 pm
Just over a month ago I had a moan on my blog about about how I had no spare time and how I always felt under pressure. So how have I got on with freeing up some of my time?
Well, for a start I have made Saturday my day off. I try and get out and go somewhere if I can, recently I have visited Donnington Castle and many Swindon parks with my best friends. Last Saturday however I spent most of the time tidying my house but I didn’t count this as working as I felt good afterwards and it was a day well spent.
I have also now devoted my Sunday’s to my church. I didn’t want to call it my God day as every day is a God day really. By devoted to my church I mean I spend the morning ensuring everything visual is set up and working (I am regularly one of the first to arrive and last to leave). When I eventually get out of the building I try and do the minor church related jobs like the website or IT bits and bobs. And now Alpha has started again so from 4.30 until late I am back at the building doing what I think God wants me to do and leading a discussion group.
Another thing I am trying is I have always considered Sunday to be the last day of the week. This means I end the week with church and God and start it with my job. I’m trying to treat Sunday as the first day of my week now so that I kick off my weeks with church and serving God before I go and serve BCS on the Monday. It takes some getting used to though but it is a good mindset to be in.
