Time

"The most powerful force for change is time."

Jeff Olson

People are fooled everyday around the world with the idea of right now.  Everyone knows about instant gratification, we have become a generation where even the mircrowave and the line at the local fast food stop is NOT fast enough.  The Bible teaches what you plant, you must cultivate and then harvest comes.  This is a concept that works everytime, however, most people don't have the patience for the cultivating, they want to move straight from planting to harvesting. 

These are our tomato plants.  We love homegrown tomotos, nothing in the world taste quite like that!  Planting and watching a plant grow until you can harvest is an amazing process. We found flowers on ours yesterday.  Isn't God just so creative!  I love it!  But we have to wait, we have to be patient for the growth to come and then the harvest.  It is this way in everything.  Let's use fitness as an example.  We get out of shape, our health declines based on small bad choices made on a daily basis in regards to our diet and exercise.  When we are told we need to get into shape, we do it for a while, but when they don't see the immediate change we want to see we quit.  We have no patience for the cultivation.  We go back to the bad choices.  Isn't it like that with our money as well.  What about our intimacy with our Abba Daddy?  Sadly, it is an epidemic that is spreading in our lives, taking over in our society.  I have done it, until now.  No more small bad choices that eventually add up.  I am choosing daily to make good small decisons that I will not be able to see the results of for a year or more--invisible results they are called.  Choices add up over time to be good or bad.  So I am choosing the good choices.  I am choosing to cultivate my intimacy with my abba daddy, I am choosing to cultivate my health, I am choosing to cultivate my finances I am choosing to cultivate my time.  People may be skeptical, that is fine.  In a year...or two...or three, the invisible resutls will become visible and I will be LIVING, instead of merely surviving.  So, who is with me?  Who wants to make the good choice?
