Wasted Time 

Time is a valuable word. It rules us. It makes us. It breaks us. Time, to some, is nothing. Others, it's everything. Time is so full of busyness that a person can forget a relationship, a job, or life. Time is nothing and everything all in one.  Our community partners, Hein and his wife, are the perfect example of sacrificial time. They partner with immersion and spend their every second and days with different teams visiting Namibia and South Africa. They eat with us, speak with us, pray with us and die us, and teach us. The most important lesson I've learned out of this trip so far is time. As told, time is given to us to use, not waste.

Here in Namibia, we have rarely have had a sense of time. We have gone with the flow, served, been intentional about relationships and spent so much intentional time with Jesus. This has been the best lesson, if not also most important. 

Time = relationships. It's time to reprioritize what we do with our time. Our investment to giving time is planting seeds in others lives. I know "busy" happens but there is always a way to make time. Our team had a moment of break through after we heard this lesson. We said goodbye from dinner and our devotional and decided to go onto the beach and sing praise and worship. That night, on the pier, above the ocean under the stars was prayers so strong and songs so beautiful that our team came together for God. We were in awe of His creation and beauty, and it's all because we made the time even with jet lag. 

Make time for people. Make time for relationships. Make time for God. Make time for time. Don't waste time. Take time to enjoy and sit with Jesus in His throne and just be. Don't rush. As we've been saying here, let's build the plane as you fly it. There's only 24 hours in a day, make time today to be intentional, relational, and to love.
