My Leftovers

I have been realizing how all the things I NEED to do doesn't leave much time for all the things I WANT to do. There is such a big gap! I feel like when I get some "me time" I often waste it away and regret how I spent it. Time is so precious and how you spend it is so important.

How many times have I asked what His will is for my life? And how many fewer times have I sat and listened for His answer?
