Do you have a schedule you stick to, in the hopes of using your time wisely and productively? If so, could you tell me what it’s like? I’ve been struggling with coming up with a good schedule, and would really appreciate any ideas you have.

Thank you so much!

Wow. Talk about convicting! :)

This is a very serious issue, and I’m so glad you’ve brought it up. I have struggled with this all my life, but only within the past 3 years or so has it really been convicting to me. I’m a procrastinator of procrastinators, and I have dealt with so much regret over lost moments where I could have done so much for the Lord, accomplished so much, learned so much, etc., but instead gave in to entertainment and other pursuits instead. That is a huge problem affecting our society today. I knew it was important to redeem one’s time, but the depth of just how dire it is hit me between the eyes one day when I heard someone say on the radio that wasting our time is the equivalent of stealing from God, for it’s His time that He gives to us to be good stewards of, for His glory and the advancement of Kingdom work.

Thank you again, dear Emily, for bringing this up! May we heed your words of wisdom.

Love you,
Rebekah

I am now 40 and I look back at all the time I think I wasted. I wish I could get back a few minutes, hours, days, monthes and years…But I have now grown to understand that many of my mistakes were to grow me and stretch me and conform me to be more like Him. I don’t look at time the same or mistakes the same:) He knows what we need and how to grow us! Oh, how I am so grateful for Him!

Wonderful post!!

You are blessed to be so wise in your youth. Praise be to God for your wisdom and most of all for sharing it. Time is of great value and I pray with these thoughts I will prayerfully consider the use of my time and numbering my days aright to glorify and please my Lord. A sweet hug for a sweet young lady. smiles, Angelia in TX

Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention…..I did what I had to do, ….oh, wait that is a song that Elvis sang. I am sorry, things got away from me for a bit. But, yes, I have many many regrets, but do strive to make them fewer and fewer as the years go by.

Take care Love, Love, The Aunt

Hi Emily! I have a quick question for you! Would you mind if my mom your Daughter’s of His Story button on our blog? Although we haven’t purchased any yet, we both LOVE your dolls and would like to share them with our friends and family. Let me know!
